This translocation, if present in this subtype of gastric lymphoma, will predict a poor response to H Pylori eradication therapy

11;18, Gastric MALT lymphoma

This mutation would suggest a diagnosis of chronic neutrophilic leukemia if present

CSF3R

The immunophenotype of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic neoplasm, known by those who have heard about it before for how easy it is to memorize

CD123+ CD4 + CD56+ and CD34 negative

Mutations in this gene are most commonly implicated in ALPS

FAS 

100

This subtype of ALL, marked by the presence of grannules more characteristically seen in myeloid blasts, is more often seen in pediatrics, and is extremely rare to find in adults with ALL

Grannular ALL

200

These two mutations are known to have prognostic significance in ALK negative ALCL, one which infers improved prognosis and one which infers worse prognosis

DUSP22 improved prognosis

TP63 worse prognosis

200

The criteria by which acute promyelocytic leukemia would be considered intermediate risk

WBC < 10 and platelets > 40

Erdheim Chester Disease can classically infiltrate this organ, leading to incessant urination

pituitary gland (diabetes insipidous)

lymphomatoid granulomatosis is often associated with this infection

EBV

Neutrophils contain myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase within these granules, aptly named for their central role in the frontline immune response. The latter enzyme is encoded on the ELANE gene, which when mutated, can lead to this disorder.

This clinical trial in multiple myeloma shares its name with the Greek hero who defeated the gorgon Medusa

Perseus

The name of this drug, which targets FLT3+ AML, could be considered reminiscent of the way one would feel after doing a leg workout for the first time in years

Sorafenib (Sore AF)

300

When assessing the immunophenotype of an acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage, if an otherwise myeloid-phenotype leukemia co-expresses CD19, what translocation, confirming AML if present, would commonly be found?

t 8;21 (RUNX1;RUNX1T1)

300

Multicentric Castleman's disease is known to present with two histologic variants, and arguably a third, which is described as a mixture of the two

Storage pool disorders can be diagnosed by confirming the absence of these on platelet electron microscopy

platelet delta granules

The mechanism of action and molecular target of the drug selinexor

selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) that targets exportin 1 (XPO1)

400

Translocation 1;16 is recognized as being specific for this subtype of leukemia

acute erythroblastic leukemia

Vemurafenib is a therapeutic option in these two disorders, one which can cause so called hairy villous projections on lymphocytes, the other which can cause so called hairy kidneys on CT.

These thresholds comprise the so-called "Camita criteria" for "very severe aplastic anemia", which is treated in the frontline setting with drug derived from the thymus of this graceful animal, along with two other drugs, one of which is immunosuppressive.

Cellularity < 25% OR 25-50% with < 30% residual hematopoetic cells

ANC < 0.2

Platelet count < 20

Retic < 20

This variant of APL tends to present with higher WBC and lack of Auer rods

In utilizing the Hans algorithm, if one is looking at the MUM1 status of the lymphoma to decide on the GCB status of the sample, they must have already determined these other markers.

CD10 was negative and BCL6 was positive

500
mutations in the platelet derived growth factor receptor and fibroblast growth factor receptor are implicated in this syndrome that can cause cardiomyopathy and can respond to imatinib

hypereosinophilia syndrome

500

Mutations in this gene, the first 2 letters of whose name is reminiscent of a rock band, are implicated in families with increased risks of lymphoma, myeloid malignancies, and HLH.

Somatic mutations in this gene, located on this chromosome, are implicated in the development of PNH

PIGA gene, x chromosome

Plasma cells containing large cytoplasmic azurophilic grannules, have been referred to as Mott cells. The cytoplasmic inclusions of these cells have been called this name.
