Accepted September 15, 2013 Case presentation A 45-year-old man with a history of drug abuse, alcoholism and heavy smoking habits was referred to the hepatology outpatient clinic because of the presence of anti-hepatis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, anti-HBV core antigen and anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies. He was being treated with tiapride and methadone. He had no anemia, a normal white blood cell count, negative autoimmune serology, undetectable HBV DNA and hepatitis C virus RNA, and mildly elevated aminotransferase levels. Immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgA levels were elevated, with a monoclonal peak in protein electrophoresis. Myelography and bone biopsy revealed a cytological phenotype of Waldestrom macroglobulinemia with bone marrow involvement of small B cell lymphocytes, compatible with lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma. An abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan revealed a thick gastric wall, and retroperitoneal and mesenteric adenopathies, raising suspicion for malignancy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was remarkable for diffuse hard and edematous gastric folds of the body and fundus with some erosions (Figure 1). Endoscopic ultrasonography showed an asymmetrically thickened gastric wall (20 mm maximum), with disease limited to the mucosa and preservation of wall layers, and adenopathies (Figures 2 to 4). Biopsies were performed and histology revealed dense infiltration of mucosa by small B cells with irregular nuclei, plasmacytic differentiation and formation of lymphoepithelial lesions, strongly suggestive of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. imagEs of thE month

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
