  Fig. 1 Initial bone marrow biopsy showed (A) aplastic marrow (hematoxylin and eosin stain, ×100). In August 2010, repeat biopsy showed (B) increased cellularity with abnormal lymphoid infiltration that was (C) positive for CD20 on immunohistochemical stain (×100).

  Fig. 2 Giemsa-banded karyotype showing 46,XY,del(6)(q16),i(8)(q10) 9 months before evidence of B-cell lymphoma in the bone marrow. The abnormal chromosomes are marked by arrows.
