Follicular Lymphoma & CLL

Follicular Lymphoma & CLL = similar CD profiles
Both = CD19 and CD20 = B-cell derived
But here is the tricky part......

CLL = CD5+, CD10-
Follicular Lymphoma = CD5-, CD10+

There are 10 letters in the word "follicular" so you can remember that the one with 10 letters is 10+, so Follicular Lymphoma is CD5-, CD10+
