AML, myelodysplasia-related because of the complex karyotype and 5q deletion. @TiarraPrice.

🧬Myeloid NGS revealed a TP53 mutation and microarray was notable for 5q deletion, 20q deletion, and other abnormalities consistent with a complex karyotype. DX?.

Bone marrow biopsy was performed and showed hypercellularity, increased blasts (20%), dysplastic megakaryocytes, diffuse reticulin (shown below) and focal trichrome fibrosis

Peripheral blood flow cytometric immunophenotypic studies were performed and demonstrated approximately 4-6% myeloblasts with aberrant CD36 and CD56 expression and diminished CD13 and HLA-DR expression concerning for myeloid neoplasm.

CP Case of the Month: A man in his 70s presented with increased fatigue, decreased appetite, and shortness of breath and was found to have pancytopenia. 🩸The peripheral blood was notable for 2% circulating blasts.

🧺🔬 Pathology Residents and Fellows Picnic = Success! 🧺🔬.We traded microscopes for sunshine and enjoyed a fantastic day of food, games, and connection. Grateful for our amazing team @UPMCPath and the memories made! ☀️🍉🐶 #ResidentWellness

Kicking off the academic year with our annual rooftop welcome party—joined by our chair, program director, and a classic Pittsburgh backdrop🏛️☀️🎉🔬

Things are off to a cool start! Nothing like an ice cream social to break the ice and cap off PGY1 bootcamp with a cherry on top 🍒🍦

A warm welcome to our fantastic new PGY-1s, joined by our program director, Dr. D 🔬🧬🥳

A sweltering day at Goat Fest PGH with some of the pathology residents—despite paraffin-melting temps, team bonding was fully embedded. Nothing like baby goats and good company to keep spirits high 🐐☀️.@HaleyCorbin7

Great night at the Pirates game with some of the team! Happy to spend time outside of work with our awesome new PGY1s. Welcome to the crew! @HaleyCorbin7

@UPMCPath residents had a wonderful time getting to know the new trainees last week! @leall_andrea

Here is the link for the case: .

These findings suggest the diagnosis of a CD20+ small B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation (IgM-lambda), likely marginal zone lymphoma with associated tri-clonal gammopathy.

FISH studies showed del7q, translocation between the long arms of Ch 4 and 11, and deletion of the long arm of the derivative Ch 11 (partial monosomy 11q). NGS revealed mutations involving DNMT3A and KLF2 genes.

Flow cytometry showed an abnormal lymphoid population positive for CD19, CD20, CD45, and lambda and negative for CD5, CD10, CD11c, CD103, CD123, and kappa. CD38 was variably positive, with a subset bright positive, and CD13 and CD33 were partially dim positive.

Lambda light chain was elevated with a free kappa/lambda ratio of 0.13. A bone marrow biopsy demonstrated hypercellularity and extensive infiltration by abnormal lymphocytes.
