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.
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is frequently found to have a well-circumscribed, nonencapsulated dermal tumor that is either contiguous with the epidermis or separated from it by a narrow zone of collagen (Grenz zone); plump spindle cells with prominent nuclei, epithelioid cells, and multinucleated giant cells; atypical mitoses and severe ...
The presence of Downey cells were observed in many COVID-19 cases, together with the atypical plasmacytoid lymphocytes (which could be one of the less usual atypical lymphocyte types). [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Some observations even suggest that the presence of particular reactive lymphocytes in some of the infected patients could be an indicator of a ...
The diagnosis of MBL in these patients depends on finding 0.5-5x10 9 monoclonal B cells that express the makers characteristic of CLL/SLL MLB, atypical CLL/SLL MLB, non-CLL/SLL MLB, or MLB-MZ. [3] However, individuals with CBL-MZ commonly present with B-cell blood counts that are extremely high (>4.0x10 9 ; range 3.0x10 9 /L to 37.1x10 9 /L ...
[8] [9] In CLL, the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. [8] [9] In patients with CLL, B cell lymphocytes can begin to collect in their blood, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. [10] [4] These cells do not function well and crowd out healthy blood cells. [2] CLL is divided into two main types:
A Mayo Clinic study of 124 patients initially diagnosed as having non-secretory multiple myeloma were later found to be composed of 65% free light chain secretors and 35% true non-secretors. As a group, these patients response to therapy, time to disease recurrence, and overall survival were similar to typical myeloma patients.
Atypical ANCA is associated with drug-induced systemic vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. [3] [7] The ANCA-positive rate is much higher in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus than in healthy individuals. [8] Levamisole, which is a common adulterant of cocaine, can cause an ANCA positive vasculitis. [9]
