Lymphoid Disorders I Flashcards
(86 cards)
In flow cytometry, cells are incubated with antibodies to bind these
Specific surface markers
This malignancy produces non-tender, firm, lymphadenopathy
Lymphoma
This is a very rare form of lymphoma that is associated with EBV infection
Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type
Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type is associated with this
EBV infection
“Lethal midline destructive lesion” refers to this type of lymphoma
Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type
Is Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type indolent or aggressive?
Very aggressive, but now with 50% 5 year survival with treatment
This virus is associated with diffuse large B C-cell lymphoma, primary CNS lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma
HIV
This virus is associated with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
HTLV
This virus is associated with Burkitt’s, post-transplant, HIV-associated, primary CNS, extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (nasal type), Hodgkin’s
EBV
This virus is associated with splenic marginal zone lymphoma
Hepatitis C
This bacteria is associated with ocular MALToma/MZL
Chlamydia psittaci
This bacteria is associated with gastric MALToma/MZL
H. pylori
This type of biopsy is best for diagnosis of lymphoma
Excisional biopsy
core biopsy usually not adequate
This is a low grade B cell lymphoid malignancy of peripheral blood/marrow and lymph node involvement
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma
This is the most common adult leukemia
Mean age 60 years
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
What causes anemia or thrombocytopenia in Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma?
Marrow infiltration
This is the characteristic immunophenotype in Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma
CD20+/CD5+ and CD23+
What is the main presenting feature of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma?
Lymphocytosis >5000/ul
must be monoclonal; kappa or lambda
Morphology of this condition will show small, mature appearing lymphocytes, with smudged chromatin; smudge cells
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma
“snickerdoodle cookies” morphology of lymphocytes is seen in this condition
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma
A lymph node biopsy in this condition will show diffuse population of small mature lymphocytes, and proliferation centers with pale staining due to larger activated cells
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma is associated with this, leading to higher risk of infections
Hypogammaglobulinemia
Patients with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma may have this type of anemia
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
DAT (Coombs) positive; high LDH; splenomegaly
Occasionally, Chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma can evolve to a more aggressive form, usually Diffuse large B cell lymphoma. This process is referred to as this
Richter’s transformation
