Plasmablastic Lymphoma, a Rare Entity in Bone Marrow with Unusual Immunophenotype and Challenging Differential Diagnosis

<div>Cytogenetic analysis and FISH study of bone marrow aspirate. (a) The lymphoma cells exhibit complex karyotype, and a representative karyotype shows + der(1), t(1;8)(p13;p12), dup(11)(q13), add(14)(q32), and der(20)t(1;20)(q13.2;q21). (b) <i>MYC</i> break-apart FISH is positive for <i>MYC</i> gene rearrangement using a locus-specific probe for the 8q24/<i>MYC</i> region.</div>
