Week 12: Myelodysplastic Syndrome • Myelodysplasia • Diserythropoiesis • Dismyelopoiesis • Dismegakaryopoiesis • FAB calssification • Ring Sideroblast • Type I and II blasts • WHO classification
Myelodysplastic Syndrome • Primary, neoplastic, pluripotential stem cell disorder • Severe cytopenias and maturation abnormality (dysplasia) in one or more cell lines • 30 - 40% of RAEB develop AML, mostly elderly • Evidence of impaired colony formation
FAB Classification of MDS (1982) • Refractroy Anemia (RA) • RA with Ringed Sideroblasts (RARS) • RA with Excess Blasts (RAEB) • Chronic Meylomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) • RAEB in Transformation (RAEB-t)
RA becomes RA Refractory cytopenia w/multilineage dysplasia (RCMD) -- complex karyotypes (+8, -7, 7q-, -5, 5q-, 20q-) RARS becomes RARS RCMD w/ ringed sideroblasts RAEB becomes RAEB types I and II 5q- Syndrome -- middle age to elderly females; deletion between bands 31 and 33; macrocytosis; good prognosis MDS, unclassifiable WHO Classification of MDS (1997)
WHO Classification of MDS/MPS • Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) -- from old FAB MDS • Atypical CML (aCML) -- no Ph chromosome • Juvenile Myelo/Myelomono Leukemia (JMML) • Note: FAB RAEB-t is reclassified as “AML w/multilineage dysplasia following MDS” because definition of AML is 20% blasts with WHO
Dyserythropoiesis • Anemia • Normocytic or macro-ovalocytes • Low retic count • NRBC • Megaloblastic changes • Ringed sideroblast • Pappenheimer bodies • Basophilic stippling
Dyserythropoiesis Ringed sideroblast
Dysmyelopoiesis • Neutropenia • Monocytosis • Pseudo Pelger-Huet • Hypogranular PMN • <20% blasts in BM • Type I and type II blasts
Type I blasts No granules Prominent nucleoli Central nucleus Type II and III blasts Few 1o granules Prominent nucleoli Central nucleus Auer rods Promyelocyte Many 1o granules Less prominent nucleoli Eccentric nucleus Blasts in MDS
Type I Blast Type III Blast
Dysmegakaryopoiesis • Low platelet count • Giant Platelet • Dwarf (micro) megakaryocyte
Micromegakaryocyte Abnormal platelets
