case_images: CT chest confirmed an anterior mediastinal mass (Figure 2) and the flow cytometry showed a mononuclear cell population (blasts) in peripheral blood with the prominent expression of cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10), CD19, CD79a, Anti Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (Tdt), Human Leukocyte Antigen - DR isotype (HLA-DR), Anti Kappa and Anti Lambda, suggestive of precursor B ALL. Cytogenetics was not done due to unaffordability.
