Patterns of Lymphoid Neoplasia in Peripheral Blood Leon F. Baltrucki, M.D. Leon F. Baltrucki, M.D. Lymphoid Neoplasia - Overview Broad Variety of Diseases Clinically Indolent > Life Threatening Many Rarely Encountered Disease Detection Requires Correlation of Analyzer Data and Blood Smear Findings, with Cumulative Hematological Data and Clinical Findings Flow Cytometry & FISH Cytogenetics Detection, Recognition of Disease Progression & Complications Based on Patterns Reflecting Natural Hx 2
Problems with Disease Recognition Laboratory Requirements Concerted Cooperative Effort High Degree of Expertise in Cytology Oversight Disease Features Diversity a clinical-biological spectrum Variation - different forms of same entity Similarity Overlapping Features with subtle differences Rarity many entities rarely encountered Evolution from low-grade neoplasia or chronic reactive conditions Patterns of Lymphoid Neoplasia in Peripheral Blood Quantitative Lymphocytosis Lymphopenia +/- Anemia +/- Thrombocytopenia +/- Neutropenia Monocytosis Neutrophilia Eosinophilia Qualitative Scatterplots Diff IMI WBC IP Messages Atypical Lympho?
