case_images: The flow cytometry analysis of this aspirate identified two cell populations, one population of T-cells expressing mainly the CD8+/CD3+/CD5+/CD7+/CD45+ immunophenotype representing 40% of the examined cells (Figure 1) and a second population representing 20% of these cells and consisting of monoclonal B-cells expressing kappa light chain, IgM, CD19, CD79b, CD20, and CD22.

case_images: The karyotype study of the bone marrow aspirate revealed a typical, specific translocation of gastric MALT lymphoma, t(11;18)(q21;q21) in 30 out of 38 metaphases (Figure 3).
