case_images: Morphologically, PC accounted for ~54% in BM aspiration (Figure 1(a)) and ~44% in PB smear (Figure 1(b)). Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) in BM showed polyclonal PC proliferation with a proportion of ~45.9% (Figure 1(j)). CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7, CD43, and PD1, and they were negative for CD20, CD10, and BCL6. CD21, CD23, and CD35 showed irregular FDCs proliferation (Figures 1(e)-1(i)). The results of this patient's examination are shown in Figure 1.

case_images: (a) Bone marrow aspirate suggesting Rouleaux formation and plasma cell proliferation (Wrights stain) (x1000). (b) Bone marrow biopsy showing plasma cells proliferation and plasma cells distributed in patches (May-Giemsa stain) (x400). (c) Plasma cells positive for CD138 (x400). (d) Ascites abscess cytology showing large amount of plasma cells with few lymphocytes (Wrights stain) (x400). (e) Small to medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells in the lymph node (hematoxylin and eosin stain) (x400). (f) Neoplasm cells positive for CD3 (x400). (g) CD21-positive follicular dendritic cell meshworks (x400). (h) Neoplasm cells positive for PD-1 (x400). (i) Part of lymphocytes (40-50%) was EBV positive (x400). (j) Multiparameter flow cytometry showing abnormal phenotype T lymphocytes in the lymph node. (k) Multiparameter flow cytometry showing polyclonal plasma cells proliferation in ascites. (l) Multiparameter flow cytometry showing mature B cells with light chain negative in ascites.
