Some aspects of morphological and dysplastic changes of the bone marrow in malignant lymphoma
1Department of Internal Medicine, University of Tartu, Estonia.
Abstract:
Cytological and histological study of the bone marrow of 33 patients with malignant lymphoma was performed to evaluate (1) the occurrence of secondary myelodysplastic changes, (2) the cell lines involved and (3) whether secondary myelodysplastic changes were similar or different for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's disease (HD). Different changes in erythro-, granulo- and megakaryopoiesis were revealed. Granulo- and erythropoiesis were disturbed more frequently. Morphological changes of the erythroid series, megaloblastoid maturation of the nucleus and multinuclearity, were seen more often in NHL patients. Cells of the granulocytic series demonstrated different changes: hypogranulation and hypersegmentation in NHL, hypergranulation and Döhle's bodies in HD. No remarkable dysplastic changes of megakaryopoiesis were demonstrated.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
