2. Have you seen this peripheral blood profile in a patient with marginal
zone lymphoma or other plasmacytoid neoplasm?

No. We don't usually immuno-type the blood unless there's a suspicion that
the blood or BM is involved though. In cases where there is involvement, the
malignant (marginal zone/plasmacytoid) cells appear in the blood.
