Introduction

Malignant neoplasm of blood other than leukemia or lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that affects the blood cells. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal blood cells in the bone marrow or lymphatic system[1][2]. This guide aims to provide an overview of the symptoms, causes, diagnostic steps, possible interventions, and lifestyle interventions for this condition.

Codes

  • ICPC-2 Code: B74 Malignant neoplasm blood other
  • ICD-10 Code: C96.9 Malignant neoplasm of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue, unspecified

Symptoms

  • Fatigue: Feeling tired and weak[3]
  • Unexplained weight loss: Losing weight without trying[4]
  • Frequent infections: Increased susceptibility to infections[5]
  • Easy bruising or bleeding: Excessive bruising or prolonged bleeding[6]
  • Enlarged lymph nodes: Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin[7]
  • Bone pain: Pain in the bones[8]
  • Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing[9]
  • Night sweats: Excessive sweating during sleep[10]

Causes

The exact cause of malignant neoplasm of blood other than leukemia or lymphoma is unknown. However, certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing this condition:

  • Genetic mutations: Inherited or acquired genetic mutations can lead to the development of abnormal blood cells.
  • Exposure to radiation: Previous exposure to high levels of radiation, such as radiation therapy or nuclear accidents, may increase the risk.
  • Chemical exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as benzene, may increase the risk.
  • Family history: Having a family history of blood disorders or certain genetic conditions may increase the risk.

Diagnostic Steps

Medical History

  • Gather information about the patient’s symptoms, including the duration and severity.
  • Identify any risk factors, such as exposure to radiation or chemicals.
  • Assess the patient’s medical history, including any previous blood disorders or genetic conditions.

Physical Examination

  • Perform a thorough physical examination, including a complete blood count (CBC) to assess the levels of different blood cells.
  • Check for enlarged lymph nodes or an enlarged spleen.
  • Assess the patient’s overall health and look for any signs of infection or other abnormalities.

Laboratory Tests

  • Complete blood count (CBC): Measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood.
  • Blood chemistry tests: Assess the function of organs, such as the liver and kidneys.
  • Bone marrow biopsy: Involves taking a sample of bone marrow to examine under a microscope for abnormal cells.
  • Flow cytometry: Analyzes the characteristics of blood cells to identify abnormal cells.
  • Cytogenetic analysis: Examines the chromosomes in blood cells for any genetic abnormalities.

Diagnostic Imaging

  • X-rays: Can help detect any bone abnormalities or tumors.
  • CT scan: Provides detailed images of the body to identify any tumors or enlarged lymph nodes.
  • MRI: Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body, helping to detect tumors or abnormalities.

Other Tests

  • Immunophenotyping: Identifies specific proteins on the surface of blood cells to determine their type and origin.
  • Molecular testing: Looks for specific genetic mutations or changes in the DNA of blood cells.
  • Lumbar puncture: Collects a sample of cerebrospinal fluid to check for the presence of abnormal cells in the central nervous system.

Follow-up and Patient Education

  • Schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s condition and response to treatment.
  • Provide education and support to the patient and their family regarding the disease, treatment options, and potential side effects.
  • Encourage the patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adhere to the prescribed treatment plan.
