PELGER-HUET ANOMALY
Genetic
Sometimes ACQUIRED (Pseudo-PELGER-HUET)
All neutrophils look like BANDS
NOT serious, mostly a cute incidental finding
Leukemias
Lymph Nodes
Spleen/Thymus
REVIEW
*
( NB: These are pretty much the symptoms of
A.M.L. too and vice versa)

A.L.L./LYMPHOMAS
Lymphoblasts which can give rise either to T or B cells
are the cells of malignant proliferation
All lymphocytic leukemias CANNOT be classified
independently of lymphomas because they all have
lymphoma counterparts
A.L.L. mostly in children
Most have chromosomal changes, hyperploidy,
Philadelphia chromosome, translocations
SIGNIFICANT response to chemo: 90% remission, 75%
CURE!!!
MIXED CELLULARITY
Lymphocyte RICH
Lymphocyte POOR
Lymphocyte PREDOMINANCE
A No systemic symptoms
B fever and/or night sweats and/or 10% weight loss
RUPTURE

THYMUS
Mother of all T-Cells
Massive in newborns, virtually absent in the
elderly, bilobed
Under manubrium
1) Thymocytes
2) Epithelial Ret. Cells
3) Hassals Corpuscles
CYSTS (incidental)
THYMOMAS
