LMR-HEMATOLOGY
M1 AML without maturation
M2 AML with Maturation Chloroma
M3 Acute promyelocytic leukemia DIC, Auer rods
M4 Myelomonocytic leukemia
M5 Monocytic maturation Gum hypertrophy
M6 Erythroid maturation
M7 Megakaryocytic maturation Downs syndrome
Bad prognostic factors for ALL
1. Age < 2 years >10 years
2. Hypodiploidy
3. t(8;14)
4. t(9;22) Involvement of CNS, mediastinum, testicular involvement
Good prognostic factors:
1. Age 2-10 years
2. Hyperdiploidy
3. t(9;22), t(12;21)
4. CALLA positivity
Beta Thalassemia: Hb synthesis defect. Decreased production of beta globin chain and
increased unpaired production of alpha chains
Mentzner index = MCV/RBC count > 13: Iron deficiency anemia
<13: Thalassemia
Increased HbF production
HbA2 increased indicates thalassemia minor; differentiates from Iron deficiency anemia
Presence of Target cells
Sickle cell Anemia: Go Welcome (mnemonic)

DIC
• Increased PT
• Increased APTT
• Increased Fibrin degradation products
• Increased D-dimer
• Increased Bleeding time
• Decreased Fibrinogen
Causes of increased PT and APTT (both) : Heparin treatment
Vitamin k deficiency
Hodgkins lymphoma:
A. Classical Hodgkins lymphoma
1. Nodular Sclerosis : MOST COMMON worldwide
Lacunar variant RS cells and collagen bands
2. Mixed cellularity: MOST COMMON in India
Biphasic incidence
3. Lymphocyte rich
4. Lymphocyte depleted or poor :
worse prognosis
Pleomorphic RS cells and Mummified RS cells
B. Lymphocyte predominant: Popcorn RS cells
Lymphohistiocytic variant
Best prognosis
