chapter 34 - mature lymphoid neoplasms

excisional biopsy or fine needle aspiration

non-hodgkin lymphoma is typically diagnosed by

direct antiglobulin test

laboratory test that is most suggestive of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in px with CLL

molecular diagnostic testing

best test/method for determining if a clonal population of T cells is present in a specimen

chronic lymphocytic leukemia

a rise in the lymphocyte count from 4.1 × 10⁹/L to 5.5 × 10⁹/L in a px with monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis suggests?

immunohistochemistry for cyclin D1

test that is often used to differentiate CLL from mantle cell lymphoma

splenic marginal zone lymphoma

if not treated, which would generally be associated with the best outcome

• peripheral T-cell lymphoma

• burkitt lymphoma

• splenic marginal zone lymphoma

• sezary syndrome

light chain restriction

what do CLL and myeloma have in common

reed-sternberg cell

cell that is clonal in Hodgkin lymphoma

peripheral blood examination

CBC

in most cases, the diagnosis of lymphoma relies on all except

• microscopic examination of affected lymph nodes

• immunophenotyping

• molecular analysis

• peripheral blood examination and CBC

serum monoclonal protein

present in monoclonal gammopathy of underdetermined significance
