Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-2) in gate #3 shows a T cell population with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population that is negative for CD5, CD10, no evidence of surface-light chain restriction. Analysis of cells in gate #1 (blast area) shows a small number of normal myeloblasts (2%) with expression of CD13, CD33, CD117, CD34. Analysis of cells in CD45 down-regulated gate (gate #2) shows an abnormal lymphoblast population (1% of bone marrow cells) with marker profile similar to that of diagnostic sample on 11/11/2017 (expression of CD10, CD19, CD38, CD34, TdT, aberrant expression of CD13, and CD33, negative for CD117). These results indicate 1% residual lymphoblastic leukemia by flow cytometry.

 

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for  chromosome analysis, ALL FISH panel, and quantitative PCR for Bcr/abl1

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-37) shows a T cell population (about 58% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 24% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. Plasma cells account for less than 3% of the cells analyzed and show no evidence of cytoplasmic light chain restriction. These results indicate no evidence of monoclonal plasma cells by flow cytometry.

- Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD138, kappa, and lambda. The stains show 3% of plasma cells in bone marrow (positive for CD138) with polyclonal distribution of cytoplasmic kappa and lambda light chains. There is a focal aggregate of plasma cells in biopsy, however the plasma cells in this aggregate also show polyclonal light-chain distribution.

 

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, and FISH panel for myeloma

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-52) shows predominant a B cell population (about 90% of all the cells analyzed). These B cells have small to imtermediate nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD19, CD38, HLA-DR, and TdT. They are negative for CD20, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD10, CD56, CD34, CD13, CD117, and CD33. Review of peripheral blood smear shows a predominant lymphoblast population. These results, together with morphologic findings in peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate, are consistent with precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia.

-Dr. Rios was notified of the findings on 1/29/2018.

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, ALL FISH panel, PCR testing for bcr/abl1, and AFB/fungal stains/cultures.

 

-Biopsy and clot section are pending processing. Findings will be reported in Addendum

Comment

 

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18- 60) in gate #1 shows a T cell population (about 90% of the cells analyzed) with high CD4/CD8 ratio (8:1), otherwise no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a small B cell population (about 6% of the cells analyzed) with no evidence of surface-light chain restriction. Analysis of cells in gate #2 (blast area) shows a small number of normal myeloblasts (<1%) with expression of CD33 and CD13. These results indicate no residual leukemic population with flow cytometry in this patient with history of AML, s/p chemotherapy.

 

-Reticulin and trichrome stains are pending on biopsy. Results will be reported in Addendum.

 

-Additional aspirate has been sent to Genoptix to perform cytogenetic analysis, AML molecular profile, and FLT3 mutation studies. Results will be issued separately in Addendum.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18- 78) shows an abnormal population in the same position (CD45/SSC scattergram) as the leukemic cells in original bone marrow sample in July 2017. The leukemic cells retain the same marker profile: positive for CD13, CD33, CD38, CD4, CD7, CD117, CD34, HLA-DR. They are negative for TdT. These findings are consistent with acute myeloid leukemia.

- The current findings of 82% myeloblasts in this patient with AML remission in 12/2017 are consistent with AML relapse

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for AML, AML molecular profile, PCR for FLT3, PCR for bcr/abl1

 

- Dr Rios and Kanaan were notified of the findings on 2/13/18

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-80) shows a normal T cell population with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population with normal marker profile. A small number of normal myeloblasts (<3%) is found. The myeloblasts show normal marker profile (positive for CD13, CD33, CD117, CD34, HLA-DR). These results indicate that no immunophenotype associated with APL is found with flow cytometry.

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH testing and quantitative PCR for PML/RARA.

- No evidence of residual leukemic promyelocytes and no increase in myeloblasts are seen. However, patient has been on ATRA/Arsenic Trioxide treatment. Leukemic cells have differentiated into mature forms with normal morphology and normal immunophenotype. Definitive assessment of residual leukemia will be based on cytogenetics and molecular testining (results pending)

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-3) in blast gate (Gate #1) by flow cytometry shows a normal myeloblast population (about 2% of the cells analyzed) with normal marker expression (positive for CD13, CD33, CD34, CD38, and CD117). The analyzed cells are negative for CD10, CD19, and TdT. These results indicate no residual lymphoblastic leukemia with flow cytometry.

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis, FISH panel for ALL, and quantitative PCR for BCR-ABL1.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-77) shows a predominant B lymphoblast population. These B cells have intermediate nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD10, CD19, CD38, HLA-DR, CD13, CD33, CD34, and TdT. They are negative for CD20, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD56, CD117, MPO. This profile is similar to that of the diagnostic sample prior to treatment. The immunophenotype results and morphology are consistent with residual B cell lymphoblastic leukemia.

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for FISH panel for ALL, ALL fusion profile. 

 

- Drs Rios and Kanaan were notified of the results on 2/13/18

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-7) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 92% of the cells in lymphocytic gate or 68% of bone marrow cells) that is positive for CD5, CD19, CD20, and CD23. Surface kappa and lambda light chain is negative. However, the B cells do show cytoplasmic kappa light chain restriction. These B cells are negative for CD10, FMC7, and CD38. These B cells have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal).

 -These results, together morphological findings in peripheral blood and bone marrow, are consistent with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis, CLL FISH panel, and IgVH mutation

Comment

- Bone marrow aspirate was with limited amount, not sufficient for additional studies besides clot section. Retculin and trichrome stains are pending to rule out myelofibrosis. Results will be reported in Addendum.

- The morphologic findings in peripheral blood, bone marrow biopsy and touch preps are most supportive of chronic myeloid leukemia in accelerated phase (platetlet count less than 100k while patient is not on therapy for CML).

- Peripheral blood samples were sent for cytogenetics; FISH panels for AML, CML, ALL; PCR for quantitative BCR-ABL1; PCR for FLT3

- Findings were notified to Dr. Kanaan on 2/9/2018

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-5) shows a T cell population with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population that is negative for CD5, CD10, also no surface light-chain restriction. Plasma cells account for less than 2% of the cells analyzed and show cytoplasmic kappa light chain restriction. They are positive for CD56 and negative for CD19. These results indicate presence of monoclonal plasma cells in bone marrow.

 

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD138, kappa and lambda. The stains show 5% plasma cells (positive for CD138), most with expression for cytoplasmic kappa and negative for lambda light-chain.

 

- The current findings are most supportive of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Clinical correlation is suggested.

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis and FISH panel for multiple myeloma

15. Neg for HLH

Diagnosis

Peripheral Blood:

 - Pancytopenia

 

Bone Marrow:               

 - Hypocellular for age (30%)

NDN/LZ 01/30/2018 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

No histologic evidence of HLH or malignancy is seen in bone marrow. Patient's pancytopenia is most likely secondary to hypocellular bone marrow. The etiologies for hypocellular bone marrow may include: viral infection, medication effect, and immune disorders. Clinical correlation is suggested.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-76) shows a predominant B lymphoblast population. These B cells have intermediate nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD38, CD34, CD22, HLA-DR, and TdT. They are negative for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD56, CD13, CD117, MPO, and CD33. These results and morphology are consistent with B cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B ALL).

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for AFB/fungal stains and cultures, and cytogenetics.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17-397)shows a T cell population (about 70% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 13% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no evidence of surface-light chain restriction. A monoclonal plasma cell population is found with plasma cells that are positive for CD38, cytoplasmic Kappa light-chain restriction. These plasma cells are negative for CD19 and positive for CD56. Patient's bone marrow shows 25% plasma cells. The immunophenotype results indicate the presence of monoclonal plasama cells in bone marrow.

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD138, kappa and lambda. The stains show 25% plasma cells in bone marrow (pos for CD138) with cytoplasmic kappa light-chain restriction.

-Per clinical history, patient currently does not have CRAB symptoms. The presence of 25% monoclonal plasma cells in bone marrow in this setting is consistent with smoldering plasma cell myeloma. Clinical correlation is suggested.

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics and myeloma FISH panel.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-131) in gate #2 shows a normal lymphocytic population (B cell and T cells). Analysis of cells in gate#1 (blast area) shows a myeloblast population that is positive for CD34, CD13, CD33, CD117, CD38, and HLA-DR. These blasts are negative for CD56, CD19, CD10, and TdT. They aberrantly expressed CD4. The blasts account for about 7% of the bone marrow nucleated cells (in line with manual differential). These flow cytometry results, together with morphological findings, are consistent with MDS with excess blasts-type 1 (MDS EB-1).

-Note that patient received chemotherapy for NHL previously. A therapy-related MDS cannot be ruled out. Clinical correlation is suggested.

-No evidence of residual lymphoma is seen.

-Bone marrow biopsy is pending decal process. Findings on biopsy will be reported in Addendum

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MDS.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF- 18-154 ) in gate #1 shows an abnormal population (about 5% of bone marrow cells) in the same position (CD45/SSC scattergram) as the leukemic cells in original bone marrow sample in July 2017. The leukemic cells retain the same marker profile: positive for CD13, CD33, CD38, CD4, CD7, CD117, CD34, HLA-DR; and negative for TdT. These results indicate 5% residual blasts in this patient with AML.

 

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequte controls, are performed on biopsy for CD3, CD7, CD34, CD117, E-Caherin. CD7 shows 20% of bone marrow cells being positive (T lymphocytes and leukemic blasts). CD3 shows 15% bone marrow cells being positive (T lymphocytes). CD34 are positive for blasts. CD117 is spositive for blasts and early granulocytes/erythroids, E cadherin is positive for scattered erythroids. The stains indicate 5% residual leukemic myeloblasts that show co-expression of CD7, CD34, and CD117.

 

-Special stains for reticulin and trichrome were performed on biopsy. The stains show diffuse reticulin fibrosis (grade 1/3), and focal trichrome fibrosis

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for AML, AML molecular profile, FLT3/NPM1, and Quantitative PCR for BCR-ABL.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF- 18-157) in Gate #1 shows a T cell population (about 90% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 7% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 4) shows fewer than 3% normal myeloblasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13 and CD33. These results indicate no abnormal immunophenotypes are found with flow cytometry.

 

-The morphologic findings in peripheral blood and bone marrow are most supportive of a myeloproliferative neoplasm, NOS 

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MPN.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-179) in gate #1 (blast gate) shows a predominant blast population that is positive for CD5 (aberrant), CD13, CD33 (partial), CD34, CD117, CD38, HLA-DR. They are negative for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD56, MPO, TdT.

-These result by flow cytometry, together with morphological findings, are most consistent with a myeloproliferative disorder, NOS. Morphology in peripheral blood and bone marrow are not supportive of CML or atypical CML. The blast count in bone marrow is 12% by manual count, confirmed by flow cytometry gating. The number of blasts in the bone marrow is consistent with Myeloproliferative neoplasm, NOS in accelerated phase.

 

- Peripheral blood samples were sent for cytogenetics; FISH panels for MPN, MPN molecular profile

 

- Findings were notified to Dr. Juneja on 4/11/2018

- Myelofibrosis, see comment

- Increased iron stores

 

 

NDN/VJ 04/13/2018 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

-Reticulin and Trichrome stains on biopsy show collagen fibrosis and reticulin fibrosis (grade 2 out of 3)

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD34, CD117, MPO, Factor VIII, and ECadherin. The MPO and Ecdherin stains show increase in granulocytes and decrease in erythoids. CD34 shows less than 2% positive cells. CD117 shows normal distribution of early granulocytes. FVIII stain shows normal distribution of megakaryocytes.

-Diffuse myelofibrosis is seen in biopsy which is the cause of pancytopenia and paucity of aspirate cells. Primary myelofibosis or myelofibrosis due to other pre-existing myeloproliferatibe neoplasms (P. vera, CML, and essential thrombocythemia) are unlikely due to lack of prefibrotic presentations. The current peripheral blood smear also shows no evidence of tear-drop cells, NRBCs or leukocyte left shift, typical findings in myelofibrosis associated with MPNs. Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis is ruled out without increase in myeloblasts.  Other etiologies are also unlikely: lymphoma (especially Hodgkin lymphoma), reneal osteodystrophy, metastatic carcinoma. The following etiolgies may be considered in this patient: viral infection, auto immune disease such as SLE in this patient, among others. Clinical correlation is suggested.

-Bone marrow was sent for cytogenetics, and FISH panels for MDS and MPN, MPN molecular profile.

-Findings were discussed with Dr. G .Segal and Dr Juneja on 4/12/18

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-224) shows a lymphocytic population (Gate #1) with normal immunophenotype. A small population of hematogones is found (Gate #2) which express CD45 (down-regulated), CD34, CD10 (bright signal intensity), CD19, CD38 (bright signal intensity), and TdT. Scattergrams show a smear-out pattern indicating a continuum of maturation, consistent with that of hematogones. The hematogones account for approximatedly 6% of the bone marrow cells. Hematogones may be increased in regenerating bone marrow as seen in this patient after chemotherapy.  Myeloblasts account for about 1% of bone marrow cells with normal marker profile. These results indicate the presence of 6% hematogones; no evidence of residual leukemia by flow cytometry.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF- 18-231) shows a monoblast population that is positive for CD13, CD33, CD11b, CD4, CD56, HLA-DR, CD38, CD14, CD64, and CD15. They are negative for CD34, CD19, CD10, MPO, and TdT. The monoblasts account for about 11% of bone marrow cells.  These immunophenotyping results by flow cytometry, together with morphological findings, are most consistent with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia-2 (CMML-2).

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MPN, and NGS- MPN targeted molecular profile

 

- Findings were discussed with Dr A Rios and Dr Z Kanaan on 5/8/2018

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-237) shows a T cell population with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population that is negative for CD5, CD10, also no surface light-chain restriction. Plasma cells are positive for CD56 and show cytoplasmic lambda light chain restriction. They are negative for CD19. These results indicate presence of monoclonal plasma cells in bone marrow.

-  Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD138. The stain show 5% of plasma cells in bone marrow (positive for CD138); some plasma cells in small clusters.

- The overall findings in bone marrow are supportive of a plasma cell dyscrasia which may include non IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and plasma cell myeloma, mostly dependent on clinical symptoms/findings (CRAB criteria). Clinical correlation is suggested.

- Congo Red red, with adequate control, is performed on biopsy which shows negative expression of amyloid using polarized light.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of leukocytes in bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-315) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 60% of the lymphocytes analyzed, or 30% of bone marrow cells) that is positive for CD19, CD20, CD22, FMC7, and surface kappa light chain restriction. These B cells are negative for CD5, and CD10. These B cells are small in nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of CD38-positive cells shows a small abnormal plasma cell population with cytoplasmic kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD56. These results, together with morphological findings in bone marrow, are consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in this patient with a history of macroglobulinemia. Clinical correlation is suggested.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-318) in Gate 1 by flow cytometry shows a T cell population (about 87% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 9% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 2) shows fewer than 2% normal myeloblasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13 and CD33. These results indicate no abnormal immunophenotypes with flow cytometry.

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, and FISH panel for MDS.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18-326) in gate #1 shows a T cell population (about 72% of the lymphocytes analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a small B cell population (2% of the lymphocytes analyzed). Analysis of cells gated for CD38 positivity shows a large monoclonal plasma cell population that is positive for cytoplasmic lambda light-chain restriction. These plasma cells are negative for CD19 and CD56. These results, together with the finding of 40% plasma cells in bone marrow, are consistent with plasma cell myeloma.

- Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on clot and biopsy for CD138. The stains show 40% plasma cells in bone marrow (pos for CD138).

- Congo Red stain is performed on clot and biopsy. The stain (under polarized light) show no evidence of amyloid deposit

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, and myeloma FISH panel.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF18-327) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 96% of the lymphocytes analyzed) that is positive for CD5, CD19, CD20 (bright signal), CD22, FMC7, no surface light chain, and negative for CD10, CD23. Cytoplasmic lambda light chain restriction is detected for the abnormal B lymphocytes. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal).

- The immunophenotypical results are compatible with a CD5-positive low grade B-cell proliferative disorder. Note that the expression of FMC7, bright CD20, negative CD23 are not typical for a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), therefore, mantle cell lymphoma (which typically has expression of FMC7, bright CD20, negative CD23) can not be ruled out. Cyclin D1 (bcl1) immunohistochemical stain is pending on bone marrow biopsy to rule out mantle cell lymphoma. Result will be reported in Addendum.

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis, CLL FISH panel, and IgVH hypermutation

NDN/VJ 04/13/2018 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

-Reticulin and Trichrome stains on biopsy show collagen fibrosis and reticulin fibrosis (grade 2 out of 3)

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD34, CD117, MPO, Factor VIII, and ECadherin. The MPO and Ecdherin stains show increase in granulocytes and decrease in erythoids. CD34 shows less than 2% positive cells. CD117 shows normal distribution of early granulocytes. FVIII stain shows normal distribution of megakaryocytes.

-Diffuse myelofibrosis is seen in biopsy which is the cause of pancytopenia and paucity of aspirate cells. Primary myelofibosis or myelofibrosis due to other pre-existing myeloproliferatibe neoplasms (P. vera, CML, and essential thrombocythemia) are unlikely due to lack of prefibrotic presentations. The current peripheral blood smear also shows no evidence of tear-drop cells, NRBCs or leukocyte left shift, typical findings in myelofibrosis associated with MPNs. Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis is ruled out without increase in myeloblasts.  Other etiologies are also unlikely: lymphoma (especially Hodgkin lymphoma), reneal osteodystrophy, metastatic carcinoma. The following etiolgies may be considered in this patient: viral infection, auto immune disease such as SLE in this patient, among others. Clinical correlation is suggested.

-Bone marrow was sent for cytogenetics, and FISH panels for MDS and MPN, MPN molecular profile.

-Findings were discussed with Dr. G .Segal and Dr Juneja on 4/12/18

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood leukocytes by flow cytometry (report HF-17-205) shows a normal lymphoctic population in gate #2 (normal T cell and B cells, about 13% of sample cells). Analysis of cells in gate #1 shows a predominant monoblast population (about 11% of sample cells) that is positive for CD13, CD33, CD4, CD117, HLA-DR, CD38, CD14, CD15, CD64, and partial positivity for CD34. These blasts are negative for CD16, CD56, CD19, CD10, MPO, and TdT. A subpopulation of mature monocytes are found in gate #3 (about 28% of sample cells). They express CD13, CD33, CD4, HLA-DR, CD38, CD14, CD56, CD64. These blasts are negative for CD34, CD117, CD19, CD10, MPO, and TdT. These findings, together with morphology in peripheral blood (22% blasts) and bone marrow (46% blasts), are most consistent with acute myeloid leukemia. Positive HLA-DR and CD34 in blasts, together with morpholgy, do not support acute promyelocytic leukemia.

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for ALM-FISH panel, cytogenetics, PCR testing for CEBPA, NPM1, C KIT, and FLT3

 

-Bone marrow clot and biopsy are pending (for processing). Results of clot and biopsy will be reported in Addendum

 

-Clinical Hematology team and Oncology team (Dr Rios) were notified of the diagnosis on 5/3/2017

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry was not performed due to insufficient quantity and clotted sample

- Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls are performed on biopsy (2A) for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD15, CD20, CD34, CD68, Ki67, MPO, and Pan Melanoma. The malignant cells are positive for CD4, Ki67 (90%), CD15, and CD68. They are negative for CD3, CD20, CD8, CD34, MPO, and Pan Melanoma

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, MPN/MDS FISH panels, myeloid molecular profile (NGS), PCR testing for FLT3, NPM1, Kit , MPL, CALR, and JAK2

-Reiculin and trichrome stains are pending on biopsy. Results will be reported in Addendum.

-The current findings are consistent with AML (acute myelomonocytic type) transformed from MPN/MDS. Patient also presents in this admission with myeloid sarcoma (R abdominal lymph node). Note that immunophenotyping of right abdominal lymph node biopsy by flow cytometry (HF-17286) shows a predominant monoblast population that is positive for CD33, CD38, CD14, and CD11b. These blasts are negative for CD13, CD34, MPO, TdT, CD5, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD22, and CD117. These results indicate myeloid sarcoma in this patient with AML (transformed from MPN/MDS)

-Dr Rios and Kanaan were notifed of the results on 6/21/17

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17-338)  in Gate 1 shows a T cell population (about 68% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 31% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 2) shows fewer than 4% blasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13 and CD33. These results indicate no abnormal immunophenotypes are found with flow cytometry. Especially, no increase in blasts is seen.

 

- The current findings are consistent with patient's history of MDS with chromosomal  abnormalities.  Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics and MDS FISH panel

Comment

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on clot (1A) for CD3, CD20, CD79a, and CD138. The stains show a subset of CD20-pos and CD79a-pos B lymphocytes (about 20% of bone marrow cells) and scattered CD138-pos plasma cells (about 5% of bone marrow cells); admixed with T lymphocytes (pos for CD3)

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17-348) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 13% of the cells analyzed) that is positive for CD19, CD20, surface kappa light chain restriction, These B cells are negative for CD5, CD10. These B cells are predominantly small in size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of CD38-positive cells shows a small abnormal plasma cell population. These plasma cells are positive for cytoplasmic kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD19 and CD56.

-These flow cytometry results, together with morphological findings in bone marrow (increase in lymphocytes with mature cytology, some with plasmacytoid forms, admixed with plasma cells), are most consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, multiple myeloma FISH panel and NHL FISH panel, also PCR testing for MYD88.

 

-Dr Rios was notified of the findings on 7/26/17

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood by flow cytometry (report HF-17-349) shows predominant a B cell population (about 96% of all the cells analyzed). These B cells have small-intermediate nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD10, CD19, CD38, HLA-DR, CD34, CD13, and TdT. They are negative for CD20, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD56, CD117, MPO, CD64, and CD33. Review of peripheral blood smear shows a predominant blast population.

-The immunophenotype results and morphology are consistent with precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia. Dr. A. Rios was notified of the findings on 7/25/17.

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis, FISH panel for ALL, and PCR for bcr/abl1.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17- 20) in  gate #1 (blast area) contains a predominant blast population (more than 60% of the bone marrow cells). These cells are positive for CD2, CD7, CD13, CD15 (partial), CD33, CD34, CD38, CD117, TdT (partial), and HLA-DR. They are negative for other T cell markers (other than CD2 and CD7), CD19, CD20, CD10, CD64, and MPO. These results are consistent with the patient's previous diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. The baseline bone marrow shows similar marker profile (report AF-15-1171, dated 12/28/2015)

- Findings were notified to Neuro Trauma team on 1/6/17 @ 18:30

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, AML- FISH panel, PCR testing for PLT3, NPM1, CEBPA, and KIT mutations.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood leukocytes by flow cytometry shows an abnormal B cell population (about 97% of the cells analyzed) that is positive for CD5, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23 (subset of 28% lymphocytes), CD38, surface lambda light chain restriction (dim signal). These B cells are negative for CD10, FMC7. These B cells have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). These results are most consistent with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, CLL-FISH panel and FISH testing for t(11; 14)

- Immunohistichemical stains for bcl1 and CD23 on biopsy are pending. Results will be reported in Addendum

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17-64) shows a monoclonal B cell population that is positive for CD19, CD20, CD23, CD22 and FMC-7 with kappa light chain restriction. This B-cell population is negative for CD5 and CD10. The outlined immunophenotypic findings are consistent with a B-cell lymphoma in this patient with a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma.

-Lymphoma infiltrates are seen surrounding trabecular bone (paratrabecular pattern). The lymphoma cells have small nuclei with clumped chromatin, consistent with lymphoma metastasis in this patient with recent diagnosis of low-grade follicular lymphoma.

-Due to discrepancy between CD10 results (negative in flow cytometry study for this bone marrow and positive in lymph node sample by immunohistochemical stain), immunohistochemical stains were ordered on this bone marrow biopsy for CD20, CD3, CD10, Bcl-2, and Bcl-6. Results will be reported in Addendum

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics

Comment

Due to discrepancy between CD10 results (negative in flow cytometry study for this bone marrow and positive in lymph node sample by immunohistochemical stain), immunohistochemical stains with adequate controls were performed on this bone marrow biopsy for CD20, CD3, CD10, Bcl-2, and Bcl-6. The malignant lymphocytes are positive for CD20, CD10, bcl2 and bcl6. They are negative for CD3. The immunohistochemical stains demonstrate significant interstitial lymphoma involvement in addition to paratrabacular pattern. The negative CD10 result by flow cytometry most likely represents different sensitivity of flow cytometry marker.

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood by flow cytometry (report HF-17-60) shows a blast population (about 28% of peripheral blood leukocytes) that is positive for CD4, CD56, CD15, CD13, CD33, CD64, CD117, CD38, HLA-DR, and MPO. These blasts are negative for CD2, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD34, CD10, CD19, CD14, CD11b, and TdT.

- The flow cytometry results, together with morphological findings in peripheral blood (more than 20% blasts) and bone marrow (79% blasts) are most consistent with transformation to acute myeloid leukemia in this patient with history of refractory anemia with excess blasts-type 2 (RAEB-2). The marker profile of the blasts is essentially the same as that in recent bone marrow with diagnosis of RAEB-2.

 

- Findings were discussed with Dr Kanaan and Dr Segal on 2/4/2017

 

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for chromosome analysis, FISH testing for for AML panel, BCR-ABL, PCR testing for  FLT3, NPM1, KIT (D816V), and CEBPA

 

- Bone marrow clot and biopsy are pending due to processing. Results will be reported in addendum.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate leukocytes by flow cytometry (report HF-17-116) in gate #1 (blast gate) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 95% of all the cells gated). These B cells have intermediate nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD10, CD19, CD20 (21%), CD38, HLA-DR, CD34, CD22, and TdT. They show aberrant expression of CD4 and CD13. They are negative for CD2, CD3, CD8, CD5, CD7, CD11b, CD14, CD15, CD56, CD64, CD117, CD33, and MPO.  The immunophenotype results and morphology in bone marrow are consistent with B lymphoblastic leukemia (B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia).

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, and ALL-FISH panel.

 

-Bone marrow biopsy and clot are pending processing. Results will be reported in Addendum

 

-Results were notified to Dr Z Kanaan on 3/9/2017

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17-128) is not diagnostic, most likely due to inadequate number of lymphoma cells in aspirate.

 

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD20, CD10, bcl6 and bcl2. The lymphoma cells are positive for CD20, CD10, bcl6 and bcl2. The stains show lymphoma cells with paratrabecular pattern, some with interstitial pattern

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics and NHL-FISH panel

Comment

- Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-17 -197) shows a T cell population (about 65% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 12% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, and no surface light-chain restriction. Analysis of cells gated for CD38 positivity shows a large monoclonal plasma cell population that is positive for cytoplasmic Kappa light-chain restriction. These plasma cells are positive for CD56 and negative for CD19. These results, together with the finding of 60% plasma cells in bone marrow, are consistent with plasma cell myeloma.

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for FISH panel for multiple myeloma and cytogenetics.

59. Monoclonal lymphocytosis vs. Focal involvement with a CD5-positive low grade B cell lymphoproliferative disorder

 

Diagnosis

Peripheral Blood:         

 - Normocytic normochromic anemia

 - Normal lymphocyte count and morphology

 

Bone Marrow:               

 - Normocellular for age (40%)

 - Focal involvement by CD5-positive monoclonal B cells,

     see comment

 - Adequate iron stores

 

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18- 588) shows an abnormal B cell population (about 69% of the lymphocytes analyzed, or 9% of bone marrow cells) that is positive for CD5, CD19, CD20 (bright signal), FMC7, and surface kappa light chain restriction (bright signal). These B cells are negative for CD10, CD23. These B cells are predominantly small in size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of CD38-positive cells shows a small abnormal plasma cell population. These plasma cells are positive for CD56, with cytoplasmic kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD19. These results, together with morphological findings in bone marrow, are most consistent with a CD5-positive monoclonal B cell population.

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD3, CD5, CD20, CD23, CD79a, CD138, cyclin D1. The lymphoid aggregate in biopsy is positive for CD5, CD20, CD79a, CD23 and negative for cyclin D1, CD3, CD5. Note that there is a discrepancy between CD23 result by flow cytometry and immunostain, likely due to different antibody affinity. CD138 shows scattered plasma cells (<5%)

-Further workup is suggested to rule out the primary site of a potential B cell lymphoma in this patient (marginal zone lymphoma or lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma) which is likely associated with IgG-kappa monoclonal gammopathy

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panels for myeloma and NHL, PCR for MYD88

 

- Findings are notified to Dr xxx on xxx

NDN/RKC 12/10/2018 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18 -635) in Gate 1 shows a T cell population (about 70% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 12% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 4) shows fewer than 2% blasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13 and CD33. These results show no abnormal immunophenotypes  with flow cytometry.

- Reticulin stain, with adequate control, is performed on biopsy. The stain shows no obvious reticulin fibrosis (only focal areas with thin fibers seen)

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, molecular analysis for JAK2, FISH panels for MPN and Eosinophilia.

-Dr Apostolidu was notified of the findings on 12/10/18

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-18 -635) in Gate 1 shows a T cell population (about 70% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 12% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 4) shows fewer than 2% blasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13 and CD33. These results show no abnormal immunophenotypes  with flow cytometry.

- Reticulin stain, with adequate control, is performed on biopsy. The stain shows no obvious reticulin fibrosis (only focal areas with thin fibers seen)

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, molecular analysis for JAK2, FISH panels for MPN and Eosinophilia.

-Dr Apostolidu was notified of the findings on 12/10/18

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow lymphocytes (Gate 1) by flow cytometry (report HF-19-74) shows a T cell population (about 82% of the cells analyzed) with high CD4/CD8 ratio (7:1), otherwise no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 9% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area (Gate 4) shows fewer than 1% blasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13, CD34, and CD33.

These results indicate no abnormal immunophenotypes with flow cytometry.

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MDS to rule out myelodysplastic syndrome.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

65. Addendum for MDS-SLD with abnormal cytogenetics

 

Bone marrow:

 -Myelodysplastic syndrome, single-lineage dysplasia (MDS-SLD), see Notes

 

NOTES:

In light of the abnormal chromosome findings, deletion 12p and 20q (see below), together with increased erythropoiesis and dyserythropoiesis as described previously in original report, this case is most consistent with myelodysplastic syndrome, single-lineage dysplasia (MDS-SLD).

 

Dr H. Juneja was notified of the findings on 2/25/2019

 

ADDITIONAL TEST RESULTS:

 

1. Bone marrow aspirate, FISH:

FISH analysis for 5p/5q, 7p11/7q31, chromosome 8, KMT2A (MLL) and 20q:

ABNORMAL results with 20q-. These studies, utilizing probes specific for aberrations commonly associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), detect the loss of one copy of the 20q12-specific signal in 70% (140/200) of nuclei examined. The remaining probes do not detect aberrations in the 200 nuclei/probe examined. Del(20q) is typical for myeloid disorders, including MDS and AML. As a sole change, it is associated with a good prognosis in MDS. Cytogenetic testing results are reviewed and correlated with clinical information and other laboratory findings.

 

2. Bone marrow aspirate, chromosome analysis:

46,XY,del(12)(p11.2p13),del(20)(q11.2q13.1)[16]/46,XY[4]

Chromosome analysis shows a male karyotype with one ABNORMAL clone(s). The abnormal clone (16/20 cells) shows deletion of 12p and 20q. Deletion of 12p and 20q are recurrent findings in myeloid neoplasms. In the context of MDS, this finding is associated with an intermediate prognosis. The remaining cells are cytogenetically normal.

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-19-173) shows a T cell population with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. Analysis of the cells in the granulocytic area with low SSC signal (promyelocytes) demontrates that they have positive expression for CD13, CD33, CD117. They are negative for CD16. These cells account for only 5% of bone marrow cells. These results indicate abnormal immunophenotypes associated with APL are found with flow cytometry for a small number of promyelocytes (5% of bone marrow cells).

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH for t(15;17), and quantitative PCR for t(15;17). Results will be reported in Addendum.

The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). These results indicate no abnormal immunophenotypes with flow cytometry. Note that these results are likely false-negative due to the very small number of lymphoma cells in the sample.

 

-Several foci of lymphoid infiltrates are seen in biopsy and clot section (paratrabecular in biopsy). Most lymphocytes have small nuclei with mature cytology; only a small number of large lymphocytes with prominent nucleoli are seen in the infiltrates.

 

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy for CD79a, bcl2, bcl6, cMYC, and Ki67. The stains show that the lymphocytes in the aggregates are positive for CD79a, bcl2, bcl6. cMYC and Ki67 shows positivity in less than 20% of the lymphocytes in the aggregates.

 

-The morphologic findings are consistent with low-grade B cell lymphoma in bone marrow. Note that this patient has a recent diagnosis of high-grade B cell lymphoma. The presence of low-grade B cell lymphoma in bone marrow in this case represents typical findings in discrepancy between lymphoma morphology in the primary site and in bone marrow.

 

-Dr A Rios was notified of the findings on 6/18/2019

 - Normal leukocyte count and lymphocyte count

 

 

Bone Marrow:               

 - Normocellular for age (30%)

 - A small number of monoclonal B cell lymphocytes (8% of bone marrow cells)

NDN/AMM 04/13/2021 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-21-000225) shows a T cell population (about 42% of the lymphocytes gated) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, and a B cell population (49% of the lymphocytes gated). A small subpopulation of B cells (8% of all the bone marrow cells gated) is positive for CD5, CD19, CD20, CD23 and surface kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD10, and CD38. These results indicate the presence of a small number of monoclonal B cell lymphocytes (8% of bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD5, CD19, CD20, CD23 and surface kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD10, and CD38.

-The findings of a few small lymphoid aggregates in bone marrow, together with flow cytometry results, are consistent with either (a) monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis, or (b) metastasis of small lymphocytic lymphoma, especially in light of patient's lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. Further workup is suggested to rule out the primary site (lymph nodes) of a potential B cell lymphoma in this patient. Note that patient's CBC and peripheral blood do not support chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for CLL/SLL.

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-21-000227) shows a T cell population (about 65% of the cells analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 24% of the cells analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area (CD45-dim) shows 3% normal myeloblasts (of the bone marrow cells) that are positive for CD13, CD33, CD34, CD117.  These results indicate no evidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or leukemia.

-Arrest of granulocyte maturation is seen in bone marrow which is likely the cause of neutropenia in this patient. Etiologies may include medication effect, congenital neutropenia, among others. Clinical correlation is suggested

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics

75. AML, NOS-Dry tap with DX made on BX and IHCs

Diagnosis

Peripheral blood:

- Normocytic hypochromic anemia with a few NRBCs

- Marked thrombocytopenia

- Rare blasts seen

Bone marrow:

-Acute myeloid leukemia (30% blasts), NOS

-Diffuse reticulin fibrosis (grade 1 out of 3)

-Increased iron stores without increase in ring-sideroblasts

 

NDN/HLF 05/10/2021 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

Comment

-No immunophenotyping with flow cytometry, cytogenetics or molecular studies were performed due to dry tap with no aspirate (most likely secondary to reticulin fibrosis).

-Reticulin stain on biopsy shows diffuse myelofibrosis (grade 1 out of 3).

-Bone marrow biopsy is hypercellular at 95% and shows diffuse distribution of immature hematopoietic precursors, admixed with increased plasma cells with mature cytology, mildly increased and dysplastic megakaryocytes (small and hypolobated nuclei). Granulocytes show lack of maturation with rare PMNs and bands. Touch prep shows many immature bone marrow cells with crush artifacts.

-Immunohistochemical stains, with adequate controls, are performed on biopsy (block 1A) for CD34, CD117, CD61, CD79a, CD4, CD8, TdT, CD138, E-cadherin, CD43, MPO, pankeratin. The stains show numerous erythroid precursors (about 60% of bone marrow cells, positive for Ecadherin), increased myeloblasts (about 30%, positive for CD34, with subset positive for MPO). Megakaryocytes are mildly increased with expression of CD61. Scattered positive cells are shown with CD117, CD4, CD8, CD79a. The following stains are negative: Pan-keratin, and TdT. CD43 shows many positive cells (non-specific stain for erythroids, granulocytes, megakarycytes). CD138 shows many plasma cells.

-The morphology of peripheral blood, bone marrow biopsy and immunophenotypic findings are most consistent with acute myeloid leukemia, NOS. The findings of increased erythroids, myelofibrosis, dysplastic megakaryocytes are not specific, but are suggestive of transformation from a previous myelodysplastic syndrome phase.

-Findings were notified to Dr. Apostolidou on 5/10/2021

NDN/AMM 05/10/2021 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-21-283) in lymphocytic gate shows a T cell population (about 50% of the lymphocytes gated) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, an NK cell population (33% of the lymphocytes), and an atyical B cell population (13% of the lymphocytes gated, or 1.3% of all bone marrow leukocytes) that is positive for  CD19, CD20 and surface kappa light-chain restriction. They are negative for CD5, CD10, and CD23. These results indicate a small number of monoclonal B cell lymphocytes (1.3% of bone marrow cells).

-The findings of a small number (1.3%) of monoclonal B cells in bone marrow with flow cytometry results in this patient, are of unknown clinical significance. No lymphoid aggregates are found in biopsy and clot. Metastasis of a small B cell lymphoma to bone marrow cannot be completely ruled out. Review of EMR did not reveal obvious LAD or splenomegaly in physical exam. No imaging study is available to check for LAD. If clinically indicated, further workup is suggested to rule out the primary site (lymph nodes) of a potential B cell lymphoma in this patient. Note that patient's CBC and peripheral blood do not support chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MDS, FISH panel for low-grade small B cell lymphoma.

77. T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T cell LGL)

Diagnosis

 Peripheral Blood:

  - Hypochromic microcytic anemia with many elliptocytes.

  - Leukopenia with neutropenia

  - Relative lymphocytosis (58%) with large granular lymphocytes

  - Thrombocytopenia

Bone Marrow:

  - T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T cell LGL), see comment

  - Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)

  - Adequate iron stores

 

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-21-428) shows a predominant T cell population (83% of lymphocytes, or 50% of bone marrow cells) with high CD8/CD4 ratio (8:1), positive for CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7, TCR alpha/beta, CD16 and CD57, negative for CD56, TCR gamma/delta.  A small B cell population is seen that is negative for CD5, CD10, also no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size base on forward-scatter signal. Analysis of cells in CD45-dim (blast) gate shows 1% of normal myeloblasts with expression of CD34, CD117, CD13, CD33. NK cells (positive for CD56, negative for sCD3) account for only 7% of bone marrow leukocytes. Plasma cells account for about 0.6% of the cells analyzed and show cytoplasmic kappa light chain restriction. They are positive for CD138, CD38 and negative for CD56, CD117.

Impression:

 (1) presence of monoclonal plasma cells (0.6% of bone marrow cells) in bone marrow.

 (2) presence of small T cells (50% of bone marrow cells) with high CD8/CD4 ratio (8:1), positive for TCR
       alpha/beta, CD16 and CD57, negative for CD56, TCR gamma/delta.

-It is noted from her EMR that patient had lung transplant in 1/2021 and no past history of bone marrow/stem cell transplant; also no history of autoimmune disease.

-Despite absolute lymphopenia and no documented finding of splenomegaly, the findings in peripheral blood and bone marrow (around 50% lymphocytes with cytoplasmic  large granules, high CD8/CD4 ratio, positive for TCR alpha/beta, CD16 and CD57) are most supportive of T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T cell LGL). Additionally, 1% of monoclonal plasma cells are detected in bone marrow, consistent with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MDS, myeloma and T cell clonality (beta and gamma) by PCR.

- Dr Idowu was notified of the findings on 7/10/2021

NDN/BM 08/04/2021 Electronic Signature: Nguyen, Nghia Andy D MD

 

Comment

-Due to insufficient bone marrow aspirate, peripheral blood samples were obtained for further testing (flow cytometry, FISH and Mutation tests).

 

-Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood leukocytes by flow cytometry shows a small lymphocytic population consisting of normal B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. Analysis of cells in the monocytic area shows a mature monocytic population (49% of leukocytes) with aberrant expression of CD56. Analysis of the cells in the blast area (CD45-dim gate) shows 2% myeloblasts (of the leukocytes) that are positive for CD13, CD33, CD34, MPO, and CD117. They show aberrant CD7 expression and are negative for TdT, CD10, CD19, CD3. These immunophenotype results, together with morphological findings in peripheral blood and bone marrow, are supportive of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia type 0 (CMML-0).

 

-Peripheral blood samples were sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for MDS and MPN, and molecular studies for MPN by PCR.

 

-Immunohistochemical stains, with appropriate controls, were performed on the bone marrow core biopsy for CD34, CD7, CD117, CD3, MPO, E-cadherin, CD56, and CD4. Stains CD34 and CD117 highlight rare immature precursor cells comprising <5% of the total cells. Stains CD3 and CD7 stain the scattered T-cells, a subset of which are positive for CD4. E-cadherin highlights erythroid cells (10%) in clusters. MPO is suboptimal and stains approximately 30% of the total cells. Stain CD56 is negative.

 

-Reticulin stain on the biopsy shows diffuse reticulin fibrosis, grade 2 out of 3.

-Immunophenotyping of concurrent peripheral blood sample by flow cytometry (report HF-21-577) shows a T cell population (about 75% of the lymphocytes analyzed) with no aberrant loss or aberrant expression of T cell markers, a B cell population (about 5% of the lymphocytes analyzed) that is negative for CD5, CD10, no surface light-chain restriction. The lymphocytes have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal). Analysis of the cells in the blast area shows 70% leukemic cells (of the leukocytes) with expression of CD13 (heterogeneous), CD33 (homogeneous), cMPO, and CD117. They are negative for: CD34, CD3, CD7, CD10, CD14, CD16, CD20, CD22, CD38, CD56, CD79a, CD123, HLA-DR, TdT. These results are consistent with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Many leukemic cells are seen in the area with intermediate side-scatter signal.

 

-STAT FISH testing for PML/RARA is positive, consistent with acute promyelocytic leukemia

- Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, Rapid AML therapeutic panel, and PCR for bcr/ab

-Oncology team (Dr Rios) was notified of the diagnosis on 9/10/2021

Comment

-Immunophenotyping of bone marrow aspirate by flow cytometry (report HF-22-744) shows 9% normal lymphocytes with mature B cells and T cells. Analysis of cells in CD45-dim gate shows a predominant T cell precursor population (about 71% of all the cells analyzed).  These T cells have small nuclear size (based on forward-scatter signal) and show expression of CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7, co-expression of CD4/CD8, CD38. They are negative for CD34, CD117, HLA-DR, CD13, CD33, CD16, CD10, CD19, CD64, CD14, CD56.

-The immunophenotype results and morphology are most consistent with T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T cell ALL/LBL)

 

-Bone marrow aspirate was sent for cytogenetics, FISH panel for ALL (pediatric)

 

-The diagnosis was notified to Dr. xxx on 9/20/2022
