Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified (DLBCL NOS) Presenting as Multiple Subcutaneous Nodules: An Unusual Cutaneous Presentation of Systemic Disease

Figure 5

Two distinct populations of abnormal B-cells were identified on flow cytometric evaluation of the bone marrow. (a) One population of lambda light chain-restricted CD5-positive B-cells, which appear large on forward scatter, representing the malignant lymphocytes of DLBCL NOS (highlighted in red). (b) A second incidental population of uncertain significance composed of kappa light chain-restricted CD5-positive B-cells that appear of similar size as background lymphocytes by forward scatter and show dim expression of light chain and CD20 (highlighted in red).
