A 53 year old woman has experienced nausea with vomiting and early satiety for the past 7 months. On physical exam, she is afebrile and has no lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. CBC shows hemoglobin of 12.9, hematocrite 41.9%, platelet count 263,000, and WBC count 8430. An upper GI endoscopy shows loss of the rugal folds of the stomach over a 4x8 cm area of the fundus. Gastric biopsy specimens reveal the presence of Helicobacter pylori organisms in the mucus overlying superficial epithelial cells. There are mucosal and submucosal monomorphous infiltrates of small lymphocytes, which are CD19+ and CD20+ but CD3-. After treatment of the H. Pylori infection, her condition improves.
