Table I.

Pathology specimens (lymph nodes, bone marrow, skin), morphology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and genomic profiling/biomarker analysis

Specimen Morphology Flow cytometry Cytogenetics
Right inguinal node Reactive follicular hyperplasia, clusters of plasma cells with mature morphology κ-preponderant (κ:λ ratio of 3:1) B cells (43%); T cells exhibit increased CD4:CD8 ratio at 9:1 3 copies of MALT1
Bone marrow No morphologic evidence of lymphoma Monotypic κ-restricted B-cell population identified
CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD23+, CD25+, FMC7+
CD5, CD10, CD11c, CD103
N/A
Left inguinal node Follicular hyperplasia with marked polyclonal plasmacytosis Monotypic κ-restricted B cells, CD5+, CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, partial CD23+, partial FMC7+, CD10, CD38, EBER, ISH, HHV8, Ki67 high N/A
Bone marrow IgM(+) plasma cell neoplasm involving hypercellular marrow with trilineage hematopoiesis. No B-lineage cells present. No definitive B cells and plasma cells; 8.4% small mature T cells with CD4:CD8 ratio of 2.8:1; 1.1% NK cells. Normal male karyotype
Skin Interstitial neutrophilic infiltrate with epitheliotropism. No vasculitis. N/A N/A
Comprehensive genomic profiling and biomarker analysis
Test Findings

PD-1/L1 IHC of lymph node tumor cells§ PD-1 expression: low positive
PD-L1 expression: Negative

cfDNA, cell free DNA; EBER, Epstein Barr virus–encoded small RNAs; HHV8, human herpes virus 8; IHC, immunohistochemistry; ISH, in-situ hybridization; NGS, next-generation sequencing; NK, natural killer; PD, programmed death receptor; TMB, tumor mutational burden.

Tissue NGS done on left inguinal lymph node as noted.

Performed by Foundation One Heme panel (406 gene panel).

Performed by Guardant 360 (73 gene panel).

§

Performed by Pathline emerge using clone NAT105 for PD-1 staining and clone SP142 for PD-L1 staining.
