1. Patients with lgD myeloma may present with no evident M-spike on serum electrophoresis
2. A diagnosis of plasma cell leukemia can be made if circulating peripheral blood plasmablasts comprise 14% of peripheral blood white cells in a patient with white blood cell count of 1 * 10^9/L and platelet count of 88 * 10^9/L

  1. Question

A 48 year old woman was admitted with a history of weakness for two months. On examination, cervical lymph nodes were found enlarged and spleen was palpable 2 cm below the costal margin. Her hemoglobin was 10.5 g/dl, platelet count 2.7 * 10^9/L and total leukocyte count 40 * 10^9/L, which included 80% mature lymphoid cells with coarse clumped chromatin. Bone marrow revealed a nodular lymphoid infiltrate. The peripheral blood lymphoid cells were positive for CD19, CD5, CD20 and CD23 and were negative for CD79B and FMC—7. The histopathological examination of the lymph node in this patient will most likely exhibit effacement of lymph node architecture by:

1. A monomorphic lymphoid proliferation with a nodular pattern
2. A pseudofollicular pattern with proliferation centers
3. A predominantly follicular pattern
4. A diffuse proliferation of medium to large lymphoid cells with high mitotic rate 
  1. Question
