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− |

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.
