Figures & data

Figure 1 The pleural fluid contained numerous large atypical lymphocytes on the cytospin slide ((A) Giemsa and Wright stain, x 50) and cell block ((B) Hematoxylin and eosin stain, x 40). Immunohistochemistry studies showed the lymphocytes were positive for PAX 5, CD20, BCL2, BCL6, MUM1 (weak) with a high proliferative rate by Ki-67 90% ((CH) x 20).

Figure 2 PET scan demonstrated no abnormal FDG processes throughout the body. Large right-sided pleural effusion was present, but without any hypermetabolic activity (arrows).
