Pathogenesis
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular center B cells, that are normally involved in the process of human immunoglobulins production.
- Malignant lymphocytic cells infiltrate hematopoietic sites such as the bone marrow where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia may also infiltrate the lymph nodes, spleen, and liver.[1]
- Immune deficiency may occur in chronic lymphocytic leukemia as the majority of cases develop hypogammaglobulinemia.[2]
- Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia may develop due to the production of IgA and IgG autoantibodies among certain cases of chronic lymphocytic anemia.
- Richter's transformation may occur among 1-5% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases.[1]
- Richter's transformation represents the conversion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia into a more aggressive, rapidly growing large B cell lymphoma.
Genetics
- Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple genetic mutations that promote leukemic proliferation and apoptotic resistance of mature B cells.[3]
- Structural genomic aberrations involved in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[1][3]
- Chromosome 13q deletion (most common genetic mutation)
- Chromosome 17p deletion
- Chromosome 11q deletion
- Trisomy 12
- Somatic gene mutations involved in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[3]
- NOTCH1 gene located on chromosome 9
- MYD88 gene located on chromosome 3
- TP53 gene located on chromosome 7
- ATM gene located on chromosome 11
- SF3B1 gene located on chromosome 2
- FBXW7 gene located on chromosome 4
- CHD2 gene located on chromosome 15
- Production of cytokines, angiogenic factors, and chemokines by the surrounding macrophages and T cells provide important stimuli for the malignant B cells proliferation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[3][2]
- Small lymphoid cells
- Narrow cytoplasmic border
- Dense nucleus
- Lack of nucleoli
- Clumped chromatin aggregates
- Smudge cells
- Gumprecht nuclear shadows
- On Immunohistochemistry characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include:[4]
- CD20 +ve
- CD5 +ve
- CD23 +ve/-ve
- CD43 +ve
- Cyclin D1 -ve
- CD38 -ve/+ve
