While your total white blood cell count is normal, the presence of elevated CD19 and CD20 markers along with increased Ki67 are important diagnostic indicators that your doctor will evaluate. These markers are often tested through immunophenotyping, which helps identify specific types of lymphoma cells by looking at proteins on their surface.

Having normal white blood cell counts doesn't rule out lymphoma, as blood counts can remain normal even when lymphoma is present. The presence of abnormal lymph cells in your nodes requires further evaluation. Your doctor may recommend additional testing, including imaging tests like PET, CT, or MRI scans to evaluate the extent of lymph node involvement. They may also conduct additional biopsies to confirm the specific type of lymphoma cells present. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
