53-year-old male presents with an enlarged supraclavicular
lymph node, and physical examination reveals enlargement
of the Waldeyer ring of orophatyngeal lymphoid
tissue. There is no hepatosplenomegaly. Lymph node biopsy
reveals replacement by a monomorphous population
of large lymphoid cells with enlarged nuclei and prominent
nucleoli. The CBC is normal except for findings of mild
anemia. Immunohistocliernical staining and flow cytonietry
of the node reveals that most lymphoid cells are CD19 + ,
CD10+, CD3- , CD15 -, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl
transferase negative(TDT-). These clinical, histologic, and
phenotypic findings are most consistent with a diagnosis of
(A) Chronic lymphadenitis
(B) Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
