Plasma cell neoplasms
Diagnosis in short

LM dyscohesive plasmacytoid cells (abundant cytoplasm, eccentrically placed nucleus), often prominent perinuclear hof, +/-nucleoli, +/-Russell bodies, +/-Dutcher bodies
LM DDx lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, poorly differentiated carcinoma, others
IHC CD138 +ve, CD56 +ve, CD45 -ve/+ve, CD79a +ve
Site bone - bone marrow
Associated Dx renal failure, myeloma cast nephropathy
Blood work +/-anemia, +/-hypercalcemia
Radiology +/-lytic bone lesions
Prognosis poor
Clin. DDx metastatic disease

Plasma cell neoplasms arise from plasma cells. They are encountered by anatomical pathologists on occasion.

Plasma cell myeloma, and plasmacytoma (solitary myeloma)[1] redirect to this article.

General

  • Malignancy derived from the plasma cells.
  • Prognosis: poor.
  • Common primary bone tumour in adults.

Clinical:[2]

  • Bence Jones protein (urine).
  • Abnormal protein electrophoresis (monoclonal gammopathy, dysproteinemia, paraproteinemia).

Note:

  • Plasmacytoma = histology of multiple myeloma; to diagnose multiple myeloma other (non-pathology) criteria are needed.

Classified by site:

  • Medullary.
  • Extramedullary - usu. upper aerodigestive tract.[3]

Multiple myeloma

Diagnosis requires the following:[4]

  1. Clonal plasma cells. Must >10% if on bone marrow biopsy.
  2. Monoclonal protein, i.e. paraprotein, in serum or urine.
  3. End-organ damage thought to be due to the neoplasm - mnemonic CARL:
    • Calcium (in the serum) is elevated.
    • Anemia.
    • Renal failure.
    • Lytic bone lesions.

Note:

  • CRAB (calclium, renal failure, anemia, bony lesions) is another mnemonic.[5]

Microscopic

Features (plasmacytoma):

  • Abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Eccentrically placed nucleus.
    • Usually with "clock face" morphology.
      • "Clock face" morphology = chromatin clumps around the edge of the nucleus, like the numbers on a clock face.
    • May have nucleoli.
  • Russell bodies:
    • Eosinophilic, large (10-15 micrometres), homogenous immunoglobulin-containing inclusions.
  • Dutcher bodies - intranuclear crystalline rods.
    • Dutcher bodies are PAS stain +ve.[6]
  • Prominent perinuclear hof - cytoplasmic crescent shaped lucency adjacent to the nuclear membrane (due to large Golgi apparatus); nucleus has a "bib".

Case

  • PCN - low mag.

  • PCN - intermed. mag.

  • PCN - high mag.

  • PCN - very high mag.

Other cases

  • Plasmacytoma. (WC)

  • Skull base plasmacytoma, higher magnification (WC/jensflorian)

  • Plasmacytoma smear (WC/jensflorian)

  • Leptomeningeal plasmacytoma, frozen section (WC/jensflorian)

IHC

Others:[11]

  • CD79a +ve.
  • CD45 -ve/+ve.
  • CD10 -ve.
  • CD5 -ve.
  • Cyclin D1 -ve/+ve.

A panel:

  • CD3, CD20, CD56, CD117, CD138, IG-kappa (plasma), IG-lambda (plasma).

Molecular

  • t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) / IGH–MMSET.[12]
    • Associated with poor prognosis.[13]
  • 13q deletion.
    • Worse prognosis.[1]
  • 17q deletion.
    • Worse prognosis.[1]
