Q

CLL cells

A

small, mature lymphocytes

4
Q

CLL prognostic tool

BM section

(diffuse involvement –> worse)

5

  • TdT
6
Q

2 lab findings in CLL

A

high WBC

hypogammaglobulinemia

7
Q

Gene rearrangement of CLL

(commonly)

A

bcl-2

(normally prevents apoptosis–cells become “immortal”)

13
Q

Why don’t you get hairy cells out in peripheral blood in hair cell leukemia?

A

hairy cells make reticular fibers around themselves in the BM

14
Q

Why do you get a pancytopenia in Hair Cell Leukemia?

A

reticular fibers made around hairy cells, makes it harder to get out of marrow
