Sample Questions

1

A 58-year-old man presents with a lump on his neck. He says the mass gradually onset 2 months ago and has been progressively enlarging. He denies any pain, weight loss, fevers, chills, or night sweats. Past medical history is significant for HIV, diagnosed 5 years ago, managed on a new HAART regimen he just started. The patient is afebrile and vital signs are within normal limits. Physical examination shows a 3 cm mobile firm mass on the left lateral side of the neck immediately below the level of the thyroid cartilage. A biopsy of the mass is performed and reveals atypical mononuclear cells in a background of eosinophils, plasma cells, histiocytes, atypical T-lymphocytes, and binucleated Reed-Sternberg cells (shown in image). Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?

ANodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma

BLymphocyte depleted Hodgkin lymphoma

CNodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma

DMixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma

ELymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma

2

A 35-year-old man presents with a mass on the central part of his neck. He reports it has been growing steadily for the past 2 weeks, and he has also been experiencing fatigue and recurrent fevers. No significant past medical history. The patient denies any smoking history, or alcohol or recreational drug use. He denies any recent travel in the previous 6 months. On physical examination, there are multiple enlarged submandibular and cervical lymph nodes that are firm, mobile, and non-tender. A biopsy of one of the lymph nodes is performed and shows predominantly lymphocytes and histiocytes present in a pattern ‘resembling popcorn’. A flow cytometry analysis demonstrates cells that are CD19 and CD20 positive and CD15 and CD30 negative. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?

ANodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma

BNodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma

CLymphocyte depleted Hodgkin lymphoma

DMixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma

ELymphocyte rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma

3

A 5-year-old male is brought to his pediatrician after recurrent, prolonged upper respiratory infections over a period of several months. Physical exam reveals petechiae on the patient's legs and arms. Laboratory studies show hemoglobin: 10 g/dL, platelet count: 35,000/mm^3, leukocyte count: 6,600/mm^3. A bone marrow aspiration shows an abundance of lymphoblasts indicative of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Positive immunostaining for which of the following would support a diagnosis of precursor B-cell leukemia?

ACD2, CD8

BTdT, HER-2

CCD4, CD5

DCD19, CD10

ECD30, CD15
