Term
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Definition

-Philadelphia Chromosome

-9q-22q Translaocation

-ABL-BCR chimeric gene

-Myeloproliferative disorder 

-Drives Proliferation of granulocytic and megakaryocytic progenitors and release of immature granulocytic forms into the blood

-Blast Crisis can be of any myeloid cell type

-Mainly a disease of adults 

Term
Burkitt Lymphoma
Definition

-8q-14q Translocation causing c-MYC Gene Mutation that leads to increased activity

-Starry Sky pattern of cells

-Occurs in Germinal Center B-Cells

-Found in children and young adult

-Manifest at extra nodal sites

-Sporadic- Abdominal and pelvis viscera

-Endemic- EBV associated: Jaw, Skull

-CD10, 19, 20, TdT-, Slg+, BCL6+

 

Term
Follicular B-Cell Lymphoma
Definition

14-18 translocation

BCL2 gene mutation

antiapoptosis of B-Cells

Comes From germianl center B cells

Cells express CD 19, 20, 10, surface Ig, and BCL6

Normal Follicular center B cells are BCL 2 (-), but BCL 2 is expressed in 90% of cases.

Affiliated with dendritic cells

Usually in adults and low grade

 

 

Term
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Definition

-Excess Lymphocytes in Bone Marrow

-1-19 Translocation and 12-21 Translocation

-TCF3-PBX1 Gene Mutation

-Neoplasm Composed of Immature B-Cells (85%) or T-Cells (TdT+)

-Most Common Cancer of Children

-B-Cell-CD19 and CD10, MLL gene mutation(9,22)

-T-Cell-CD3, CD7

 

Term
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Definition

15-17 Translocation

RAMA-PML Gene Mutation

Term
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Definition

-11-14 translocation (rare)

-Usually Caused by a deletion

-BCL1 gene mutation

-Most Common Leukemia for adults

-Peripheral B-Cell Neoplasm

-Express CD19, CD20, CD23, CD5

-Disrupts normal immune function through -unknown reasons

-Can undergo Richter Syndrome and transform into DLBCL. 

-Diffuse Pattern of Growth

-Low Grade

Term
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Definition

-Germinal Center or post germinal center B cells

-Most Common Form of NHL in older adults

-Peripheral B cell neoplasm

-Cells express CD19 and 20 and most have surface Ig.

-Generally have an over expression of BCL6

-Less frequently has a 14-18 trans of BCL2 if developed from lymphoma

-Subtypes can be caused by EBV or AIDS

-High Grade

 

 

Term
Genes to Remember
Definition

c-MYC

BCL2

BCL6

p53

NOTCH1

Cyclin D

BCL10

MALT1

Term
Multiple Myeloma
Definition

-Plasma Cell Neoplasm involving the skeleton

-Punched out lesions in bone

-Somatic Hypermutation of post germinal cells

-Net increase in osteoclast and bone reabsorption promoted by IL-6 (leads to high calcium)

-Many Different Translocations (Robbins pg.609)

-Disease of the elderly

-Production of Monoclonal antibodies by plasma cells

-Bence Jones Proteins

Term
Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
Definition

-B-Cell Neoplasm of Older adults

-Plasma cells secrete IgM, and cause Walden-Strom

-No Bone destruction observed

-Markers are CD20 and surface Ig

-Usually a deletion in Chrom 6q

Term
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Definition

-Tumor cells resemble the normal mantle zone b cells that surround the germinal center.

-Express high levels of Cyclin D- t(11:14) 

-Most express CD 19, 20, and surface Ig

-Usually CD5+ and CD23-

-Diffuse pattern with small wrinkled lymphocytes

Term
Hairy Cell Leukemia
Definition

-Marginal zone B-cell neoplasm of older males

-Express's pan B-cell markers (19,20) and CD11c, CD25, CD103

-Post Germinal Center memory B-Cell origin

-Indolent with peripheral pancytopenia, dry tap, and splenomegaly.

-Cells appear hairy and Contain acid phosphatase

Term
Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Unspecified
Definition

-NOS: Mature peripheral T-Cells

-Diffuse with a mixture of large and small cells

-Poor Prognosis

Term
Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma
Definition
