case_images: The changes of beta2-MG, IL-6, VEGF, LDH. The series of beta2-MG, IL-6 are drawn on the primary axis, and the series of VEGF, LDH are drawn on the secondary axis.

case_images: IL-6 were elevated. In addition, his serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was normal (Figure 1). After the third course, VEGF level was declined, but IL-6 and LDH elevated again (Figure 1).
case_images: Flow cytometry of peripheral blood. (A-F) Before chemotherapy, the aberrant lymphocytes population expressed CD19, CD20, CD10, cKappa; (H-M) after three courses of chemotherapy, these became negative.

case_images: TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, PDGF, IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10. The reticular fiber staining was grade 3 (Figure 4).
case_images: PET/CT finding. (A-C) Before chemotherapy. (The largest lymph nodes was in the lower abdominal mesenteric region 68mm x 42mm, SUVmax =8.2). (D-F) After three courses of chemotherapy (The spleen reduced obviously, whose metabolism was normal (SUVmax=2.6)). (A) Widespread lymph node enlargement and hypermetabolism, splenomegaly, kidney hypermetabolism (blue arrows) and diffuse bone marrow hypermetabolism. Its inferior border approached the upper margin of pelvis (SUVmax= 2.9); (B) spinal hypermetabolism (blue arrow); (SUVmax =9.0); (C) iliac hypermetabolism (blue arrows); (D) no abnormal lymph nodes were found. The volume of spleen was smaller than before, and the metabolism of bone marrow, kidney metabolism were normal (red arrows); (E) normal spine metabolism, (SUVmax =3.3) (red arrow); (F) normal ilium metabolism (red arrows).

case_images: IV: General hypermetabolic enlarged lymph nodes were be seen in both sides of diaphragm, especially in the abdomen; the metabolism of bone marrow and left kidney was elevated. In addition, the PET scan showed splenomegaly obviously without hypermetabolism, which were induced by MF probably (Figure 5). TNF-alpha were normal. The PET images showed improvement of the lymphadenopathy (Figure 5).
case_images: Fluorescence interphase in situ hybridization on lymph node biopsy. (A) IGH-BCL2 dual-colour dual-fusion probe displays two fused green and red signals, one isolated green and one isolated red signal in most of tumour nuclei with t(14;18) (q21;q32)/IGH-BCL2. Arrow indicates positive nuclei. (B) BCL2 dual-colour break-apart (BAP) probe shows one co-localised green and red signal, one isolated green and one isolated red signal in most of tumour nuclei; (C) BCL6 dual-colour break-apart (BAP) probe shows two co-localised green and red signal; (D) MYC dual-colour break-apart (BAP) probe shows one co-localised green and red signal.

case_images: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis performed on paraffin embedded tissue sections from the right cervical lymph node were positive for the BCL2 (18q21) split signal and IGH/BCL2 fusion signal, and negative for MYC rearrangement and BCL6 (3q27) split signals (Figure 6).
