case_images: Multiple lesions in the bilateral lung fields and multiple hypermetabolic lymphadenopathies in the hilum, mediastinum, and supraclavicular area and enlarged spleen were found by CT and PET/CT (Figure 1A). He had no relevant family history. He had the heterozygous nonsense variant of the GATA2 gene c.599dupG, p.S201*. His father and sister carried the wild type of the GATA2 gene, and his mother died in an accident (Figure 1B). Therapies, changes of his complete blood count, ferritin and lactate dehydrogenase during the hospitalization were shown in Figures 1C, D.
