Siobhan (pronounced shi-vawn), a 17-year-old American female, is an avid lacrosse player on her high school varsity team. She is physically active and eats a pretty well-balanced diet for her age. She was recently injured and had to sit out several games. The doctor finally cleared her and she is back on the field. Unfortunately, her knee is still swollen at the area of impact of the injury, but she does not tell anyone for fear of missing out on playing. Eventually, when the pain becomes too much she tells her parents, and they take her to the family doctor. He cannot find a reason for the pain and refers Siobhan to an orthopaedic specialist, who runs some bloodwork. The specialist becomes concerned by Siobhan’s white blood cell count and refers her to an oncologist.
