Most common site for BM biopsy
|
Posterior Superior Iliac crest
|
|
Flow Cytometry
|
Forward scatter info on cell size

|
Reactive Leukopenia
|
lp secondary to a disorder (infection, inflammation, autoimmune, drugs, chemicals, etc)
You see neutropenia and lymphopenia but NOT MO, EO, or BA |
|
Isolated neutropenia
|
Bacterial Infection
|
|
Isolated lymphopenia
|
Viral infection (HIV, EBV, etc)
|
|
|
Reative Lymphocytes
|
|
|
Aplastic anemia; BM not able to produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells; results in pancytopenia
|
|
Myelodysplasia
|
Ineffective hematopoiesis and subsequent pancytopenia; ringed siderblasts often present
|
|
|
Dysplasia of myelodysplasia in BM
|
|
|
Dohle Body (lower right blue area)
Note granulations - lysozymes to kill bacteria Vacuoles indicate phagocytic activity |
|
|
Monocyte
Isolated monocytosis indicates chronic infection |
|
|
Eosinophil
|
|
|
Esosinophil
|
|
|
Basophil
|
|
Isolated eosinophilia
|
Allergic and hypersensitivity reactions
|
|
Isolated basophilia
|
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
|
|
Acute Leukemia
|
Short time course; rapidly diving immature cells
|
|
Chronic Leukemia
|
Long time course of disease; rapidly diving mature cells
|
|
|
Myeloblasts in AML; delicate chromatin, prominent nucleoli and fine azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm
CD34 and Cd33 markers of the same blasts |
|
Acute Myelongeous Leukemia
|
BM accumulation of immature myeloid cells
Common in ADULTS |
|
|
Auer Rod; diagnostic of AML
|
|
Acute Lymphoblastic/Lymphoid Leukemia
|
Malignant neoplasms of the hematopoietic precursor cells of lymphoblasts
Common in CHILDREN |
|
AML vs ALL
|
ALL affects lymphocytic cells
AML affects myeloid cells |
|
|
Lymphoblasts in ALL
Condensed nuclear chromatin, small nucleoli, scant agranular cytoplasm Express Tdt and CD22; CD10 and CD19 |
|
CML morphology
|
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; Proliferation of granulocytes and platelets
|
|
Polycythemia vera
|
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; proliferation of RBC and paltelets
|
|
Essential thrombocytosis
|
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; Proliferation of megakaryocytes
|
|
Primary myelofibrosis
|
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; proliferation of fibroblasts, granulocytes & megakaryocytes
|
|
Philadelphia Chromosome
|
t(9;22); BCR-ABL in 90-95% of cases in CML
|
|
Gleevec and CML
|
Philadelphia chromosome (bcr-abl) constitutively activates tyrosine kinase; gleevec binds to TK active site as a competitive inhibitor
|
|
How can you acquire resistance to Gleevec?
|
additional mutations in bcr-abl protein = reduced gleevec binding
or amplification of the bcr-abl gene locus |
|
Pathogenetics of Polycythemia Vera
|
Mutations in JAK2 Tyrosine Kinase lead to constitutive kinase activity
|
|
JAK-STAT signaling (this is how EPO stimulates erythropoisesis)
|
JAKs cross phorphorylate -> STATS bind and are phorphorylated -> STATS dimerize and become transcription factors in nucleus
|
|
CP of CML
|
Strokes, headaches, weakness due to thickened blood (immature myeloid cell proliferation)
|
|
CP of Polycythemia Vera
|
Strokes, headaches, weakness due to thickened blood (immature myeloid cell proliferation)
|
|
CP of essential thrombocytosis
|
Episodes of bleeding/fibrosis
|
|
CP of primary myelofibrosis
|
Marked thrombycytosis
|
|
|
CBC from a pt with CML; note the large buffy coat
|
|
|
BM from pt w chronic CML; note the hypercellular marrow
|
|
|
PB from pt with CML
Note increased WBC as well as presence of a full range of myeloid maturation |
|
Chediak Higashi Mutation
|
LYST gene; unable to transport materials into lysosomes
|
|
|
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome associated with albinism
Neutropenia most common presentation; recurrent, life threatening infections in various organs |
|
Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood
|
CGD; phagoytes can't form superoxide radical and thus can't kill bacteria
|
|
Myeloperoxidase Deficiency (MPOD)
|
MPO found in azurophilic granules of neutrophils and lysomes of monocytes; MPO converts H202 and Cl into hypochlorus acid (bleach) to kill bacteria
Ability to kill fungi completely absent so pts present more often with candida infections |
|
Fungal Infections in Diabetics
|
Myeloperoxidase Deficiency (MPOD)
|
|
