why do you see gum infiltration in acute monocytic leukemia
|
moncytic origin means they still retain the ability to reside in tissue (like a monocyte would enter tissue to become a macrophage)
|
|
what defines acute vs chronic leukemia
|
acute leukemia indicates >20% blasts - see cells halted at blast stage
chronic has <10% blasts and you see varying WBCs at different stages |
|
FAB grouping of AML
|
M0 - AML minimal differentiation
M1 - AML with differentiation (sheets of blasts) M2 - AML with maturation (blasts+maturing myelocyte) M3 - APL - promyelocytic M4 - AMMoL - meyelomonocytic M5 - AMoL - monocytiv M6 - AEleuk - erythroleukemia - myeloblasts+erythroid precursor M7 - AMkL - acute megakaryocytic leukemia |
|
t(8,21)(q22;q22)
|
M2 associated translocation
often has panBcell marker CD19 |
|
inv(16)(p13;q22)
|
M4 with eosinophilia
|
|
t(15;17)(q22;q12)
|
M3 - acute promyelocytic leukemia
translocation involves retinoic receptor can treat this cancer with vitamin A |
|
prognosis of radiation induced AML
|
BAD

myeloblast lineage only
|
|
choloroacetate esterase stain
|
myeloblast lineage only
|
|
TdT stain
|
lymphoBLASTs only
|
|
auer rods
|
ONLY AML, but never ins M0 or M7
|
|
myeloperoxidase stain
|
stains myeloid lineage only
|
|
M7 - acute megakaryocytic leukemia
|
blasts are MPO/SBB negative
CD41a (gpIIb/IIIa) or CD61(gpIIIa) positive look for blebbing |
|
HLA-DR-, CD34-
|
M3
|
|
Which AML types do you NEED flow cytometry for
|
M0, M7
|
|
Uses of Flow Cytometry in AML
|
define lineage
M0,M7 disease associated phenotype: M3, t(8,21) following treatment effectiveness |
|
acute lymphoid leukemia FAB classification
|
L1 - looks like normal lymphocyte except bigger
L2 - looks like myeloidblast L3 - burkitt's, large cells with large round nuclei, several nucleolus, basophilic cytoplasm with vacuoles stains with oil red O. |
|
B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia is also known as
|
Burkitt's lymphoma
TdT- |
