2013: MB2-HRM-Week 7 Pathology of WBC disorders Dr. Shashidhar Venkatesh Murthy A/Prof. & Head of Pathology
Diseases of WBC: Learning Objectives: Normal WBC. Reactive changes: (Philia.. / Penia..) • Neutropenia, Agranulocytosis, Leukemoid reaction. • Lymphadenitis, Lymphadenopathy. Neoplastic / Cancers: • Leukemia – Acute, Chronic, Myeloid & Lymphoid. • Lymphomas – Hodgkins & Non Hodgkins. • Precancers: MPD, MDS. Books/Ref: TOP 5 WBC disorders. 1. Reactive changes. 2. Leukemia. 3. Lymphoma. 4. MPD. 5. MDS. Less More

Normal Blood Cells: Non-Specific Immunity Eosinophil Specific Immunity Neutrophil Lymphocyte Basophil Non granular, Mononuclears Granulocytes, Polymorphs 5
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be. If you think yourselves strong, strong you will be! -- Swami Vivekananda
Leukocytosis: Neutrophilia Increased granulocytes: • Trauma, Acute Infections, inflammation, Bacterial* When severe with immature forms – Leukemoid reaction. Clinical features: • Fever, Fatigue, Inflammation.
Lymphocytosis: Infectious Mononucleosis Increased Lymphocytes: (Activated) • Chronic Inf., Viral, fungal, TB etc. Large lymphocytes, more cytoplasm. Irregular, indented by RBC – also known as atypical lymphocyte or virocyte Clinical features: fever, lymphadenopathy.
Leukopenia: Neutropenia Reduction in granulocytes: • Decreased Production – Marrow aplasia, drugs, • Increased destruction – drugs, immune, • Congenital: CGD, Idiopathic, cyclical, Benign ethnic (common) When severe – Agranulocytosis (drugs, immune) Clinical features: • Infections, oral ulcers with white thick pus (pseudo membrane) of bacteria or fungus (candida common)
WBC Absolute counts in disease: Penia Neutro Philia Penia Eosino Philia Penia Mono cytosis Penia Lympho cytosis
When your thinking is brilliant, you will be brilliant, but if your thinking is not brilliant you will not be brilliant, no matter how brilliant you may think you are….! -- Christian D. Larson Fake it until you make it…! -- Mohd. Ali. Boxer.
Lymphadenitis: Acute (painful) or Chronic (painless) Infections, Immune & Cancers. Increased, large follicles with pale germinal centre & mantle zones (B cell proliferation* & apoptosis*) Lymphadenitis: Enlarged reactive lymphnodes due to stimulation (inflammation). (Painful) Lymphadenopathy – any enlargement, but commonly used for Cancer spread. (Painless)
Reactive lymphadenitis Dark zone Macrophage Tingible body Macrophage Light zone Mantle zone B Lymphocyte proliferation* & apoptosis*
“When you see a good person, learn from her/him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points.” ― Confucius.
Hemato-oncology: Blood Cancer - Summary Cancer of immature Blast cells. (Bone marrow common) Leukemia: • ‘White’ ‘blood’ – excess WBC, Starts in bone marrow extends to blood & hemopoietic Organs - Liver, Spleen & lymphnodes* • Two Major types: Myeloid & Lymphoid. • Two presentation: Acute / Chronic. (AML, ALL, CML CLL) • Many subtypes* – different mutations personalized medicine*(MB3) Lymphoma: • Solid tumour of lymphoid tissue – where ever lymphoid tissue. • Hodgkins & Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. B cell type common. • Many subtypes – clinically Low, Intermediate & High grade. Premalignant Disorders: • MPD Myelo-Proliferative Dis: Excess proliferation, more abnormal cells. • MDS Myelo-Dysplastic Syn.: Dysplastic (abnormal cells) pancytopenia.
Leukemia: Clinical Features Cancer of Bone marrow Blasts – Excess WBC. Decreased Haemopoiesis: • Erythropoiesis – Anemia - RBC • Leukopoiesis – Infections - WBC • Thrombopoiesis – Bleeding. PLT Bone marrow expansion/destruction: • Bone pains. Extraneous hemopoiesis / spread: • Splenomegaly • Hepatomegaly • Lymphadenopathy (more in lymphatic malignancy)
Leukemia Clinical features: Lymphadenopathy Bleeding - Petechiae Infections - Candidiasis Hepatosplenomegaly
Leukemia Classification Acute Leukemias: weeks to months. • Acute Myeloid Leukemia – AML - Adults • Many Subtypes: M0, M1 to M7 • Acute Lymphoid Leukemia – ALL - Children • Many Subtypes: L1, L2 & L3 Chronic Leukemias: Years, late age. • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia- CML- Adults • Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia - CLL –Old age.
Leukemia Morphology: Normal Acute Leukemia AML/ALL CLL: Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia CML: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Leukemia Case: JK 12y, Boy Presents to ED: “Very Sick, fever, back pain, nothing helping it”. History: • Feels unwell? - Very • Fever? Yes, intermittent • Easy bruising -Yes, Examination: • Slim, unwell, pale, Multiple Bruises • Liver & Spleen enlarged – mild. • Lymph nodes enlarged neck & axilla.
Any fool can know. The point is to understand ! -- Albert Einstein Without Pathology, Medicine is quackery…!
Lymphoma Definition: Solid cancer of lymphoid tissue Clinical: Painless, immobile, Lymphadenopathy, weight loss, Fever. Two Major Types: & many subtypes. Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) – Reed-Sternberg cells. • B cell only. Types: Lymph. rich Mixed Ly. Poor. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) – no RS cells. • B cell, T cell & Histiocytic lymphoma.
Hodgkins Non Hodgkins NHL: Diffuse Small Cell NHL: Follicular Mixed Small & Large Cell HL: Nodular Sclerosis (common) Only RS cell Malignant All cells Malignant
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun. -- Mary Lou Cook
Burkitt’s lymphoma: large B cell NHL Endemic in Africa Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) B Cell Lymphoma. Dark large B lymphocytes (malignant) with plenty of pale macrophages. (Starry sky pattern).
Multiple Myeloma: Malignancy of Plasma cells (Mature B lymph, Ab) - Old age, males. Marrow, LN, Blood. Multiple, punched out Lytic bone lesions (Osteolysis) Hyper gammaglobulinemia Monoclonal antibody peak – serum protein electrophoresis. Immunodeficiency infections.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” –Eleanor Roosevelt
Myelo Proliferative Disorders. Myelo Dysplastic Syndromes. (Pre-canceraous stage of blood cancers)
MPD MDS Old age, Neoplastic proliferation of stem cells. Reduced normal marrow (RBC, WBC & PLT - anemia, infections & bleeding. Liver & Spleen enlarged. Usually transform to Acute leukemia at the end. Marrow Proliferation with maturation. Increased abnormal cells in blood – Leukocytosis. 4 major types (mixed types common). • Polycythemia Vera (RBC) • Chronic Myeloid Leuk. (WBC) • Essential Thrombocythemia (PLT) • Myelofibrosis (Fibrosis) Marrow Proliferation with no maturation. Decreased abnormal cells in blood. – Leukopenia. 4 major types. • RA (Refractory Anemia) • RARS • RAEB • RAEB in transformation.
Polycythemia Rubra Vera (PV) Hypercellular Marrow, Red skin & Hepatosplenomegaly
Essential thrombocythemia Plenty of Platelets in blood But clinical bleeding (abnormal platelets)
The goal of mankind is knowledge, which is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What man 'learns' is really what he “discovers” by taking the cover off his own soul. - - Swami Vivekananda ‘Education’… from Eduse (latin) to bring out..! ‘Doctor’ … from Dokere’ (latin) to teach…!
Summary: Reactive Leukocytosis: • Neutrophilia, Eosinophilia, Lymphocytosis. Reactive Leukopenia: • Neutropenia, lymphopenia, pancytopenia. Leukemia: – Blood Cancer (of Blasts in marrow) • AML / ALL, CML / CLL Lymphoma: – solid Tumor of lymphoid tissue. • Hodgkins & Non- Hodgkins Precancerous conditions: • MPS (Leukocytosis) & MDS (leukopenia):
