We report a case of a patient with two B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders: CD5(-)/CD23(+) B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and CD5(+)/CD23(-) mantle cell lymphoma. These disorders were diagnosed simultaneously based on flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and polymerase chain reaction-based molecular studies. The B-cell lymphocytic leukemia clone predominated in the blood and bone marrow, whereas the mantle cell clone predominated in lymph nodes. |
