*

Spleen size measured from left costal margin.

Constitutional symptoms included fever, drenching night sweats, and weight loss of more than 10% of ideal body weight.

Normal reference range for serum lactate dehydrogenase was 91-257 U/L at the Mayo Clinic and 313-618 U/L at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.
