Burkitt Lymphoma
Provisional Diagnosis
Blood Morphology
White Blood Cell
- WBC :Deeply basophilic cytoplasm with numerous
vacuoles and irregular nuclei.
- Morphology indicate: Has a similar pattern like other lymphoma
- Ideal morphology of BL: Numerous macrophages ( "starry sky appearance")
-
Clinical Presentation
Symptom: Depend on the types & location, develop very quickly
(a few days/weeks)
- Common symptoms:One or more lumps,loss of appetite,weight loss, night sweats, unexplained fever and fatigue
- Endemic : Usually starts as tumor of the jaw, facial bones & more
- Sporadic & immunodeficiency associated: usually start in the bowel and form bulky tumor mass in the abdomen
Erythrocytes
- Low level of Hb; anemia
- Low RCC
- Low PCV (hematocrit)
- Normal MCV
- Low MCH
- Low MCHC
Conclusion:
RBCs is low due to the lymphoma cells that take up the space of normal cells in bone marrow. This results in the progression of anemia and thrombocytopenia.
Leukocytes
- High WBC
- High lymphocytes
- Low neutrophil
- High monocyte
- Normal basophil
- Normal eosinophil
Conclusion:
White blood cells are being produced constantly in lymphoma but they don't function properly as WBCs in lymphoma is underdeveloped.
