Solution by Dr Devesh Mishra
1) In apoptosis, all are seen except:

a) Intact plasma membrane
b) Cell organelle Swelling
c) Absence of Inflammation
d) Gene mediated programmed cell death
Ans is b) Cell organelle Swelling

Morphologic Features of Apoptosis
• Earliest change in apoptosis is cell shrinkage.
• Most characteristic is “chromatin condensation” (= pyknosis).
• No inflammation due to intact cell membrane.
• Formation of cytoplasmic blebs and apoptotic bodies.
• Apoptotic bodies are cell membrane bound structures with tightly
arranged organelles with or without nuclear fragments.
• Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells or apoptotic bodies by
macrophages (end stage).
2) Immunohistochemistry marker to differentiate thymoma from ALL?

a) TdT
b) CD1a
c) CD3
d) Cytokeratin
Ans is d) Cytokeratin
Thymoma is an epithelial tumor and it will be Cytokeratin positive,
whereas TdT, CD1a, and CD3 are seen in ALL.
3) Patient came to Emergency room with severe bleeding and his

Blood group was unknown. Which of the following blood group of
FFP you will prefer for transfusion?
a) A+
b) AB
c) O-ve
d) O +ve
Ans is b) AB
If we analyse ABO blood group, we will see following thing:
“Blood Group O” will have both Anti-A and Anti-B, so FFP of this
group can be given to “O Blood group patients only.
“Blood Group A” plasma will be having anti-B, so FFP can be given

to patients who are having blood group A or O because they will not
be having group B red cells.
“Blood group B” plasma contains anti-A, so FFP and can only be
given to patients who are group B or O because they will not be
having A red cells.
Blood Group AB plasma will not be having Anti-A or Anti-B, so FFP
can be given to patients with blood group AB, A, B or O. AB blood
donors can be considered as ‘universal plasma donors.

Castleman disease
• It is a group of uncommon lymphoproliferative disorders characterized by

of enlarged lymph node tissue, and a range of symptoms and clinical
findings.
• Histologic features consistent with Castleman disease are categorized
into common patterns:
a) Hyaline vascular - regressed germinal centres, follicular dendritic cell
prominence or dysplasia, hypervascularity in interfollicular regions,
sclerotic vessels, prominent mantle zones with an “onion-skin”
appearance.
b) Plasmocytic – increased number of follicles with large hyperplastic
germinal centres and sheet like plasmacytosis (increased number
plasma cells).
c) Hypervascular - similar to hyaline vascular features, but seen in MCD
rather than UCD. Includes regressed germinal centres, follicular
dendritic cell prominence, hypervascularity in interfollicular regions,
and prominent mantle zones with an “onion-skin” appearance.

c) Fragile X syndrome
d) Tay Sach’s disease
Ans is b) Hunter’s disease

Clinical features of Hurlers and Hunter is nearly similar but only males will be
affected in Hunter’s disease. In this given question male gender favours
diagnosis of Hunters.
Mucopolysaccharidosis
• Due to deficiencies of enzymes that degrade glycosaminoglycans
(abundant in extracellular matrix).
• Heparin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate
are accumulated.
• All are autosomal recessive except MPS II (Hunter disease), which is
X-linked recessive.
• It is characterized by:
a) Coarse facial features.
b) Hepatosplenomegaly
c) Corneal clouding
d) Mental retardation.
e) Balloon cells are distended cells with clear cytoplasm containing Pas-
positive material.
• Two is most well-characterized syndromes are:
A) Hurler syndrome (MPS I-H)

• It due to alpha-l-iduronidase deficiency.
• It's a severe form.
• Onset at 6 to 24 months and death due to cardiovascular complications by
the ages of 6 to 10 years.
B) Hunter syndrome (MPS II)
• Lacks corneal opacification.
• Milder clinical course than Hurler syndrome.
