He has generalized nontender lymphadenopathy, and the spleen tip is palpable. Laboratory studies show hemoglobin, 10.1 g/dL; hematocrit, 30.3%; platelet count, 140,000/mm3; and WBC count, 24,500/mm3 with 10% segmented neutrophils, 1% bands, 86% lymphocytes, and 3% monocytes. A cervical lymph node biopsy specimen microscopically shows a nodular pattern of small lymphoid cells.
