  2. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

    In hematology, thrombocythemia is a condition of high platelet (thrombocyte) count in the blood. Normal count is in the range of 150 × 10 9 to 450 × 10 9 platelets per liter of blood, [1] but investigation is typically only considered if the upper limit exceeds 750 × 10 9 /L. When the cause is unknown, the term thrombocythemia is used, as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousseau_sign_of_malignancy

    thrombophlebitis migrans. The Trousseau sign of malignancy or Trousseau's syndrome is a medical sign involving episodes of vessel inflammation due to blood clot (thrombophlebitis) which are recurrent or appearing in different locations over time (thrombophlebitis migrans or migratory thrombophlebitis). The location of the clot is tender and the ...

  4. Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_megakaryoblastic...

    Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is life-threatening leukemia in which malignant megakaryoblasts proliferate abnormally and injure various tissues. Megakaryoblasts are the most immature precursor cells in a platelet-forming lineage; they mature to promegakaryocytes and, ultimately, megakaryocytes which cells shed membrane-enclosed particles, i.e. platelets, into the circulation.

  5. Essential thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_thrombocythemia

    In hematology, essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare chronic blood cancer (myeloproliferative neoplasm) characterised by the overproduction of platelets (thrombocytes) by megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. [ 3 ] It may, albeit rarely, develop into acute myeloid leukemia or myelofibrosis. [ 3 ] It is one of the blood cancers wherein the bone ...

  6. Paraneoplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraneoplastic_syndrome

    Paraneoplastic syndrome. A paraneoplastic syndrome is a syndrome (a set of signs and symptoms) that is the consequence of a tumor in the body (usually a cancerous one). [1] It is specifically due to the production of chemical signaling molecules (such as hormones or cytokines) by tumor cells or by an immune response against the tumor. [2]

  7. POEMS syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POEMS_syndrome

    POEMS syndrome is often associated with an IgA or IgG lambda limited plasma cell dysfunction. On iliac crest biopsies, patients with POEMS syndrome often have few monoclonal plasma cells. In patients with localized illness, iliac crest biopsies may be normal. Other common findings were megakaryocyte hyperplasia and clustering, as well as ...

  8. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

    Vascular surgery, internal medicine, pulmonology. Symptoms. Dependent on location. Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses ...

  9. Leukemoid reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukemoid_reaction

    Conventionally, a leukocytosis exceeding 50,000 WBC/mm 3 with a significant increase in early neutrophil precursors is referred to as a leukemoid reaction. [2] The peripheral blood smear may show myelocytes, metamyelocytes, promyelocytes, and rarely myeloblasts; however, there is a mixture of early mature neutrophil precursors, in contrast to the immature forms typically seen in acute leukemia.
