Lymphoid leukemias
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Relative or absolute increase in lymphocytes | Lymphocytosis |
| Increase in the percentage of lymphs. Usually second to Neutropenia. Seen in some viral infections | Relative lymphocytosis. |
| increase > 4.4x10^9/L. Often not accompanied by a leukocytosis except IM, CMV, and infectious lymphocytosis | Absolute lymphocytosis |
| relative or absolute decrease in lymphocytes | lymphocytopenia |
| decrease in the percentage of lymphs. seen in CHF, uremia and malaria | relative lymphocytopenia |
| lymph decrease <1.0x10^9/L. seen in patients with breast/stomach cancers, active tuberculosis, malnutrition, after radiation or chemo and stress | absolute lymphocytopenia |
| lighter, lacier chromatin, too much cytoplasm to be a blast | reactive lymph |
| only lymph that can be reactive | B cell |
| a variant of a reactive lymph whose development in between lymph and plasma cell | plasmacytoid lymphocyte |
| type of leukocytosis in IM and CMV | absolute |
| lymphs in IM | 50-90% reactive |
| serological testing for IM | heterophile antibody |
| VCA-IgM; VCA-IgG; and EBNA | antibody titers for IM |
| increased serum bilirubin, increased AST, decreased alkaline phosphatase are abnormal liver function tests in | IM and CMV |
| unexpected antibody that can cause IM | Anti-i |
| lymphs in CMV | 90% reactive |
| Anti-CMV or culture of CMV from urine or serum | serological test |
| age - 15-25 etiologic agent - EBV lymph morphology - many reactive lymphs symptoms - severe, liver disease, even death | Infectious Mono |
| age - children etiologic agent - coxsackie or adenovirus lymph morphology - small, mature lymphs symptoms - mild, usually only diarrhea | Infectious lymphocytosis |
| viral mumps, measles, rubella, varicella, hepatitis, and flu coccidian toxoplasmosis are causes of | relative and reactive lymphocytosis |
| bacteria, bordetella pertussis, cat scratch disease (bartonella), mycobacteria (AFB), mycoplasma pneumoniae are causes of | relative, non-reactive lymphocytosis |
| a group of malignant leukocytoses resulting from cells rapidly multiplying in the lymphoid tissue and infiltrating the lymph nodes. includes CLL, HCL, MM, and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia | lymphoproliferative disorders |
| seen in men >40 average survival without treatment - 6 years autoimmune, hemolytic anemia DAT + | CLL |
| mix 5 drops blood with 1 drop 22% BSA to reduce the # of | smudge cells |
| rare, chronic B cell leukemia affecting middle aged men survival time - 17 years caused by HTLV-1 and radiation pancytopenia produces a dry tap | Hairy Cell Leukemia |
| large lymphs with gray cytoplasm that have hair-like or irregular extensions. nucleus is notched, dumbbell or oval | hairy cell |
| stains hairy cells | TRAP |
| a lymphoproliferative condition of plasma cells in the bone marrow seen mostly in middle aged men 50-60 years. xray of bones shows a punched out appearance | Multiple myeloma |
| light chains in urine | Bence Jones |
| protein electrophoresis in MM in IgG area | M spike |
| made up of IgG | russell bodies |
| a malignant proliferation of plasma cells seen in older patients 60-70 years. mean survival time of 4 years. increased ESR, and bleeding time. monoclonal IgM spike, lymphocytoid are predominant cells | waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia |
| a disease of the lymph nodes where mature or immature lymphs or reticulum cells infiltrate not only the lymphoid tissue and lymph nodes but other organs as well. | malignant lymphoma |
| location of leukemias | bone marrow |
| bimodal - 15-35 year old and > 50 year olds normo, normo anemia, Reed-Sternberg cells with lymphs, histocytes and eos | Hodgkin's lymphoma |
| very large reticulum cell AKA Owl's Eye 2 nuclei or multi-lobed nucleus Dense nucleolus surrounded by a clear zone diagnostic for Hodgkins | Reed-Sternberg |
| most common neoplasm in 20-40 year olds can be induced by exposure to chemicals, pesticides or organic solvents | non-hodgkin's |
| a rare cutaneous mature T cell lymphoma that spreads to organs occurs in middle aged people mean survival time 2 years | Mycodisis fungoides |
| the leukemic phase of mycoidisis fungoides | sezary syndrome |
| large form with a vacuolated cytoplasm and a convoluted nucleus | sezary cell |
| b-glucocerebrosidase deficiency that results in accumulation of glucocerebrosides in RES and CNS | Gaucher's Disorder |
| large cell with small eccentric nucleus, wrinkled or striated cytoplasm. "chicken scratch/gauges" | Gaucher cell |
| inherited disorder with variable geographic distribution, Ashkenazis Jew, Americans, Nova Scotians. Caused by deficiency of sphingomyelinase so sphingomyelin accumulates in RES tissues and brain. often fatal within 3 years in children | Neimann-Pick disorder |
| large cell, small eccentric nucleus, cytoplasm appears foamy or globular | Neimann-Pick cell |
| benign familial condition with unclear etiology accumulation of cerebrosides and carbohydrates in histiocytes in liver, spleen and bone marrow | sea blue histiocyte condition |
| large cell, eccentric nucleus, abundant cytoplasm filled with blue to blue green granules | sea blue histiocyte |
| most common in children aged 2-10 with peaks in 2-5 year olds and a second in the elderly. | ALL |
| most common ALL immunophenotype in children | Precursor B |
| more common ALL immunophenotype in adults | T Cell |
| more common ALL immunophenotype occurs in teenage males with mediastinal mass | immature T |
| rarest form of ALL immunophenotype occurs in children and adults | mature B |
| chromosomal abnormalities with poor prognosis | t(1;19), t(8;14), t(9;22) |
| chromosomal abnormalities with excellent prognosis | t(12;21) |
| best prognosis occurs in pre b with | CALLa |
| CALLa CD marker | CD10 |
| more common in children; best prognosis, may be any B or T subgroup | L1 lymphoblast |
| more common in adults; intermediate to poor prognosis; may be any B or T subgroup | L2 lymphoblast |
