Final answer:
The patient's symptoms and smear results are indicative of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of lymphoma that affects B cells. Symptoms of DLBCL include fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. Smudge cells and mature lymphocytes on a smear confirm the diagnosis.
Step-by-step explanation:
A patient with fatigue and LAD, smear with mature lymphocytes and smudge cells
The symptoms you described are commonly seen in patients with lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. In particular, the presence of smudge cells and mature lymphocytes on a smear is indicative of a specific type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and primarily affects B cells. It is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal lymphocytes. The fatigue and swollen lymph nodes experienced by the patient are common symptoms of DLBCL.
