CELL-DYN Ruby

Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Description

This 60 year old male patient was referred by his general practitioner to a specialist because of persisting lymphadenopathy. The peripheral blood count on CELL-DYN Ruby showed thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis which was accompanied by the DFLT (LM) flag, indicating that the algorithm was unable to make a clear separation between the lymphocyte and monocyte population. Visual interpretation of the WBC scatterplots and the NWBC-LYM-MONO histogram suggested that the default threshold lines spuriously classified part of the “lymphocyte” population as monocytes. This finding was confirmed by microscopic examination, which showed mainly medium-sized pleomorphic lymphocytes with irregular nuclei. Immunological typing of the leukemic cells and lymph nodes confirmed the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma.
