A torso positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan also showed no abnormal FDG uptake (Figure 1).
Histopathology of bone marrow biopsy specimen. (a) Bone marrow biopsy (hematoxylin-eosin stain, x200) shows infiltration of large atypical cells. (b) The immunohistochemical staining for CD20 (x100) is diffusely positive in large atypical cells.

Immunophenotyping of bone marrow cells further supported the diagnosis of BCL, with the population testing positive for CD45, CD19, CD20, CD79a, and HLA-DR (Figures 2 and 3); however, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase expression in bone marrow cells was negative.
Bone marrow aspiration (Wright-Giemsa stain, x1000) shows infiltration of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Large, atypical cells with irregularly shaped nuclei and basophilic cytoplasm are noted in clusters.
