A 32-year-old female presents to your office with a sore throat. Physical examination reveals a non-tender cervical lymph node that measures 3.5 cm in diameter. Antibiotic therapy is started that improves the symptoms and somewhat decreases the size of the lymph node. Several examinations over the following year reveal that the size of the lymph node fluctuates overtime. The patient is referred to a surgeon and a lymph node biopsy is performed. The biopsy is most likely to show:
A. Burkitt lymphoma
B. Follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma
C. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
D. Acute lymphoid leukemia
E. Mycosis fungoides
F. Hairy cell leukemia
