Revision as of 14:49, 28 March 2012
Lymphoma is almost a specialty for itself. It can be subclassified a number of ways.
This article is an introduction to lymphoma. An introduction to lymph nodes and lymph node pathology that is not lymphoma are in the articles lymph node and lymph node pathology.
A general introduction to haematopathology is in the haematopathology article.
General
The presentations are variable and similar to that of other malignancies. They may include:
- Mass effect.
- Weight loss.
- Fever.
- Night sweats.
- Infection.
- Incidental:
- Routine blood work for something unrelated.
- Life insurance work-up.
B symptoms
- May be seen in Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Presence correlates with higher stage.
- Predictor of poor prognosis independent of stage.
All of 'em are required to call "B symptoms"[1] - mnemonic These Bothersome features cause Wednesday Night Fever:[2]
- Weight loss - >10% in 6 months.
- Night sweats.
- Fever - 38 degree C that is unexplained.
Note:
- A symptoms do not exist. The term comes from the staging system. In the "A" of the staging system the above symptoms are absent.
Lymphoma classification
Lymphomas can be divided into:
- Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
Other categorizations:
- T cell lymphomas (rare).
- B cell lymphomas (more common).
Two most common NHLs:
- Follicular lymphoma (FL).
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Leukemia as a med student
- Acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) - predominantly in smALL people, i.e. children.
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
- Chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) - relatively good prognosis.
Histologic classification
- "Size".
- Nodularity.
"Size"
- The single most important factor for classifying lymphomas.
- Not really based on size.
"Large" | "Small" | Utility | |
Nucleoli | present | absent | most discriminative |
Size | >2x RBC dia. | <2x RBC dia. | moderate |
Chromatin pattern | "open" (pale) | "closed" | moderate/minimal |
Cytoplasm | mold-minimal basophilic cytoplasm |
scant cytoplasm | minimal |
Histologic terms
