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 |
