Key Findings:
  • The patient exhibited elevated serum IgG and an IgG-λ monoclonal protein.
  • Bone marrow biopsy revealed normocellular marrow with approximately 40% cellularity and no characteristic lymphoid aggregates.
  • Flow cytometry identified a CD19-negative, CD20-positive monoclonal B lymphocyte population.
Interpretation:

The case highlights the importance of a multi-platform diagnostic approach in identifying atypical immunophenotypes in hematologic malignancies.

Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • Potential for misdiagnosis due to the atypical immunophenotype of CD19-negative clonal populations.
Conclusion:

Accurate diagnosis of non-IgM type LPL requires integration of morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular findings.
