- Myeloproliferative Disorders
- Lymphoproliferative Disorders
- Plasma Cell Dyscrasias and Lymphoreticular
Malignancies Associated with Abnormal
Immunoglobulin Synthesis
are generalized neoplastic proliferation or
accumulation of leukopoietic cells with or without
involvement of the peripheral blood.

______ with or without
involvement of the peripheral blood.
neoplastic proliferation or
accumulation of leukopoietic cells
LEUKEMIAS are group of malignant disorders affecting _____, ____

blood and blood forming tissue of the bone marrow
lymph system and spleen.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF LEUKEMIA
1 Chronologic (based on natural history)
2 Cytologic (based on predominant cell type)
3 Classification based on functional capacity of
release mechanism
4 Classification based on localized proliferation of cells of the same type
Chronologic CLASSIFICATION OF LEUKEMIA is based on?
natural history
Cytologic CLASSIFICATION OF LEUKEMIA is based on?
predominant cell type
the cells of precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia are all
immature cells
CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONOLOGIC (BASED ON NATURAL HISTORY)
- ACUTE LEUKEMIA
- CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
- SUB-ACUTE LEUKEMIA
The most common form of leukemia in
children. Characterized by a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells
—> rapidly progressing, lasting for several days
to six months
—> very fast
ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Acute leukemia is characterized by?
a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells
Acute leukemia is rapidly progressing, lasting for about?
several days to six months
—It is characterized by the excessive build up of
relatively mature, but still abnormal, white
blood cells
—mostly occurs in older people, but can
theoretically occur in any age group
—most patients will live a minimum of 1 or 2
years or more
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA is characterized by the
excessive build up of relatively mature, but still abnormal, white blood cells
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA mostly occurs in
older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group
IN CHRONIC LEUKEMIA most patients will live a minimum of
minimum of 1 or 2 years or more
a type of chronologic leukemia that last from 2 to 6 months or even 12 months
SUB-ACUTE LEUKEMIA
ONSET OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Abrupt
ONSET OF CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
Insidious
Death of px with ACUTE LEUKEMIA

Death of px with CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
w/in years
White cell count of ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Elevated / Normal / Low (LEN)
White cell count of CHRONIC
LEUKEMIA
Elevated
Appearance of cells in ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Blasts (immature)
