Presentation Transcript


  1. Leukocytes 4-10 000/mm3Differential count:neutrophils 60- 70%, eosinophils 2-4%basophils - up to 1%ly: 20 – 30%, mono 3-8% ↓ Leukopenias most often: neutropenia lymphopenia: less common – congenital ID diseases, corticosteroid therapy ↑ Proliferations: reactive – infections, other conditions neoplastic

  2. NEOPLASTIC PROLIFERATIONS OF WHITE CELLS • myeloid from the hematopoietic stem cells giving rise to cells of myeloid lineage thrombocytic, granulocytic, erythroid • Acute myelogenous (myeloid) leukaemias • Myelodysplastic syndromes • Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms B. lymphoid- tumors of lymphocytes, lymphomas and leukaemia • Hodgkin lymphoma versus non-Hodgkin lymphomas; • B- versus T- cell lymphomas • precursor cells (B or T or NK) – lymphoblastic versus mature cells – B or T (or NK) C. histiocytoses – proliferative lesions of histiocytes Langerhans histiocytosis

  3. Myelodysplastic syndrome Bone marrow(BM) hypercellular Dysplastic Ineffective – bone marrow failure Peripheral blood (PB) Blood cells: few and pathological (size, shape, function)

  4. Myelodysplastic syndrome • clonal disorders of stem cells • defects of maturation in the BM - ineffective hematopoiesis (progressive failure of BM function) • cells in the PB : decreased numbers – pancytopenia + defective in function, pathological shapes • BM: hypercellular, • but dysplastic: pathological forms, architecture • blasts may be increased • (but less than 20%, threshold AML versus MDS)

  5. Myelodysplastic syndrome Clinical symptoms and complications ???

  6. Myelodysplastic syndrome Clinical symptoms and complications • Anemia • Thrombocytopenia - bleeding • Leukopenia – infection • (Splenomegaly +-)

  7. Myelodysplastic syndrome purpura

  8. Myelodysplastic syndrome • primary – de novo - old people – over 60 • secondary – therapy related – toxic exposure - worse prognosis

  9. Myelodysplastic syndrome Subcategories • Refractory anemia –– unilineage dysplasia • RA with ringed sideroblasts – the nucleus encircled by siderotic granules • RA with multilineage dysplasia • RA with excess blasts –more than 5%, less than 20% • MDS unclassifiable • MDS assoc. with isolated del. (5q) chromosome

  10. Sideroblastic anaemia (Perl´s stain) collars of iron granules around the nucleus

  11. (Chronic) myeloproliferative neoplasms

  12. Chronic myeloproliferative diseases Clonal disorders Adults 1. Chronic myeloid leukemia 2. Polycythemia vera 3. Essential thrombocytemia 4. Chronic osteomyelofibrosis

  13. Chronic myeloproliferative diseases Common principles: 1. Bone marrow: stem cell genetic abnormalities, neoplastic proliferation of one or more (all) BM myeloid series (red, white, megakaryocytes) disorder of an individual series more pronounced in each of the categories 2. Peripheral blood: increased numbers of cells; relatively normal maturation 3. Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly sequestration of excess blood cells, extramedullary hematopoiesis, leukaemic infiltration

  14. Chronic myeloproliferative diseases phases of the disease in time: 1. onset insidious proliferative phase, 2. progression - spent phase - osteomyelofibrosis - blast phase all can (do not have to) progress to AL; CML does it invariably)

  15. Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) t(9; 22) – Philadelphia chromosome, bcr-abl gene pluripotent stem cell defect abnormal fusion protein - increased tyrosine kinase activity most striking : proliferation of G increased cellularity maturation retained (no hiatus leukaemicus) hematopoiesis also extramedullary splenomegaly (hepatomegaly) PB: leukocytosis – exceeds even 100 000/ mm3

  16. CML PB: no hiatus leukaemicus; mature neutrophils, some metamyelocytes, and a myelocyte.

  17. Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) Phases 1. chronic – aver. 3 ys 2.accelerated – gradual failure of response to treatment, increasing anemia and thrombocytopenia, basophilia 3. blast crisis –after accelerated phase or without the acceler. phase Blast crisis = acute leukaemia - 70% myeloid, 30% lymphoblastic

  18. Chronic myeloid leukaemia

  19. Chronic myeloid leukaemia uric acid deposition

  20. Polycythaemia vera • increased proliferation of all three series • most striking: red cells • hypercellular BM • PB: HTC 60%, Hb over 180g/l

  21. Polycythaemia vera • increased RC mass - symptoms: hypervolemia, blood stasis (mostly venous), cyanosis – stagnation and deoxygenation of blood hypertension, thromboses, bleeding – abnormal blood flow, abnormalities of PLT • granulopoiesis may be elevated • plt elevated + functional abnormalities • SPENT PHASE: myelofibrosis (20%/10 ys)

  22. Polycythemia vera. Plethora.

  23. Polycythemia vera. Plethora.

  24. Polycythemia vera distension of retinal vessels

  25. Gouty tophi

  26. Polycythemia vera, spent phase, advanced marrow myelofibrosis. Massive splenomegaly (3020 gm; normal: 150 to 200 gm) largely owing to extramedullary hematopoiesis

  27. Essential thrombocythaemia • the least common CMPD • PLT exceed 600 000 /mm3 • BM: increased cellularity, megakaryocytes: abnormal, often large • PB: PLT: often large • Symptoms: • thrombosis and hemorrhage – abnormalities of quantity and quality of PLT • rel. indolent Giant platelets

  28. Essential thrombocythaemia haemorrhages

  29. Essential thrombocythaemia thrombosis, gangrene

  30. Chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis • abnormal neoplastic megakaryocytes release fibrogenic factors – PDGF and TGFa stimulate fibroblasts to proliferation • early: BM hypercellular, minimal fibrosis • progression: BM hypocellular, fibrotic; osteosclerosis • obliteration of BM space: extramedullary hematopoiesis - spleen; later: liver • PB: leukoerythroblastic=erytroid and granulocytic precursors • 20% - progression to AML

  31. Primary myelofibrosis (peripheral blood smear). Two nucleated erythroid precursors and several teardrop-shaped red cells (dacryocytes). Immature myeloid cells present in other fields. An identical picture - in other diseases producing marrow distortion and fibrosis.

  32. Leukaemia • Acute – myeloid; lymphoblastic - B, T • Chronic – myeloid, lymphocytic – B, T

  33. Acute leukaemia (AL) Common: acute course untreated: death in weeks, months Problems – symptoms result from: A. failure of normal hematopoiesis – anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia B. infiltration of organs by neoplastic cells • 1. Myeloid (adults) • 2. Lymphoblastic (young; B or T) further subdivision: genetics, morphology, immunophenotype

  34. Acute myeloid leukaemia • Categories: • AML with recurrent gen. abnormalities –balanced translocations, often complete remission, favourable prognosis (fusion gene - chimeric protein); • t(15;17) – AML M3 – promyelocytic – treatment with transretinoic acid; • t(8; 21) or inversion of chromosome 16 • AML therapy related • AML with multilineage dysplasia • AML – NOS- minim.differentiated • Without maturation • With maturation

  35. Acute myeloid leukaemia • FAB classification = French – American – British • M0 – without maturation – myeloblastic • M1 – without maturation • M2 – with maturation • M3 – promyelocytic – now categorised rather according to the genetics – t(15; 17) • M4 – myelomonocytic • M5 – a – monoblastic, b- monocytic • M6 – erythroid • M7 – megakaryoblastic

  36. Acute myeloblastic leukaemia: Staphylococcus aureus lesions

  37. Acute myeloblastic leukaemia mixed infection Streptococci, Candida previous chemotherapy and neutropenia

  38. AML, M5 leukaemic infiltration of the gums expansion and thickening partial coverings of the teeth

  39. Myeloid sarcoma Tumour mass of immature myeloid cells Extramedullary (bone) Association - before or concurrently: 1. AML (or as a relapse) 2. Chronic myelogenous leukaemia other myeloproliferative disorders 3. MDS Extramedullary myeloid tumour, granulocytic sarcoma, chloroma

  40. Myeloid sarcoma Localization 1. Bones – subperiosteal (skull, paranasal sinuses, sternum, ribs, vertebrae, pelvis) 2. Lymph nodes • Skin

  41. Myeloid sarcoma - poorly differentiated …a high index of suspicion... Stains: CHAE, MPO, lysozyme; CD15, CD68, CD117, CD43 (CD43 only!) Differential diagnosis 1. Lymphoblastoma 2. Burkitt lymphoma 3. Large cell lymphoma 4. Small round cell tumours (neurobl., Ewing/PNET, medullobl.)

  42. Myeloid sarcoma Prognosis If + MPD, MDS = as a blast transformation If + AML – as this AML If isolated: curative radiotherapy prolonged survival

  43. Precursor (lymphoblastic)B-cell neoplasmsB-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma • 1. Leukaemia (more common): involves the bone marrow and PB • 2. occasionally solid primary nodal or extranodal mass /B-lymphopblastic lymphoma/ without PB and BM involevement - leukaemization possible. biologic unity of B-ALL and B-LBL, division arbitrary

  44. Precursor (lymphoblastic)B-cell neoplasms • Small to medium sized cells • scant cytoplasm, dispersed chromatin, and inconspicuous nucleoli

  45. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Lymphoblasts: condensed nuclear chromatin, small nucleoli, and scant agranular cytoplasm

  46. Lymphoblastic leukaemia • More common B • B-ALL – children, but also adults; relatively frequent, good prognosis • Children: 95% complete remission, 80% cured /adults worse/ Lymphoblastoma (LBL) • More common: T • B-LBL – rare T-LBL- rapidly growing mass in mediastinum, adolescent male

  47. Acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia • B-ALL – children, but also adults; relatively frequent • B-LBL - much less common - skin, bone, soft tissues, LN • Symptoms: BM failure • Enlarged LN, liver, spleen • Antigenic profile:TdT, CD10 (CALLA) various degree of differentiation, B-antigens (CD79a, CD20) • Genetic abnormalities– prognostically important • Good: hyperdiploidy; t (12, 21) • Poor: t(9, 22), hypodiploidy • In general: a good prognosis leukaemia • Children: 95% complete remission, 80% cured /adults worse/

  48. Precursor T cell neoplasms • T-ALL– less common than B-ALL • T-ALL, T-LBL - adolescent male • clinically: similarities with B-ALL; • all acute leukemias share some clinical similarities • But difference: AML adults, ALL: children • T-LBL - rapidly growing mass in mediastinum
