Hematopoietic Malignancies

1048708 Lymphoma is a general term forhematopoietic solid malignancies ofthe lymphoid series

1048708 Leukemia is a general term for liquidmalignancies of either the lymphoidor the myeloid series

Conceptualizing lymphoma

bull neoplasms of lymphoid origin typically causing lymphadenopathy

bull leukemia vs lymphomabull lymphomas as clonal expansions of

cells at certain developmental stages

What is Lymphomabull Lymphomas are cancers that begin by

the ldquomalignant transformationrdquo of a lymphocyte in the lymphatic system

bull Many lymphomas are known to be due to specific genetic mutations

bull Follicular lymphoma due to overexpression of BCL-2 (gene that blocks programmed cell death)

What is the Lymphatic System

bull Made up of organs such as the tonsils spleen liver bone marrow and a network of lymphatic vessels that connect glands called lymph nodes

bull Lymph nodes located throughout the bodybull Lymph nodes filter foreign particles out of the

lymphatic fluid bull Contain B and T lymphocytes

Lymphatic Systembull Lymph nodes act as a filter to

remove bacteria viruses and foreign particles

bull Most people will have had ldquoswollen glandsrdquo at some time as a response to infection

bull Exposed to chemicals such as pesticides or solvents

bull Infected w Epstein-Barr Virusbull Family history of NHL (although no hereditary

pattern has been established)bull Infected w Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Hodgkin lymphomaHistologic subtypes

bull Classical Hodgkin lymphomandash nodular sclerosis (most common subtype)ndash mixed cellularityndash lymphocyte-richndash lymphocyte depleted

Epidemiologybull less frequent than non-Hodgkin

lymphomabull overall MgtFbull peak incidence in 3rd decade

Associated (etiological) factors

bull EBV infectionbull smaller family sizebull higher socio-economic statusbull caucasian gt non-caucasianbull possible genetic predispositionbull other HIV occupation herbicides

Clinical manifestationsbull lymphadenopathybull contiguous spreadbull extranodal sites relatively uncommon
