This week’s Morphology Monday features a patient who presented with fatigue and splenomegaly on examination. Routine bloods showed a significant lymphocytosis, prompting further investigation.

Full blood count results:

WBC: 48.35 ×10⁹/L ↑
Hb: 94 g/L ↓
RBC: 3.34 ×10¹²/L ↓
MCV: 71.4 fL ↓
MCH: 21.7 pg ↓
Platelets: 185 ×10⁹/L
Lymphocytes: 75% (36.26 ×10⁹/L absolute)

Flow cytometry (peripheral blood):

Positive: CD19, CD20, CD79b, CD11c, CD22, surface IgM
Negative: CD5, CD10, CD23, CD25, CD103, CD123, Annexin A1

The absence of CD103, CD123, and Annexin A1, alongside surface IgM positivity and strong CD20 expression, helps narrow the differential.
