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]
- Clonal plasma cells. Must >10% if on bone marrow biopsy.
- Monoclonal protein, i.e. paraprotein, in serum or urine.
- 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.
 
- Usually with "clock face" morphology.
- 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".
DDx:
- Neuroendocrine carcinoma - nucleus often has a plasmacytoid (plasma cell-like) appearance.
- Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (AKA Waldenström's macroglobulinemia).
- Syphilis.

IHC
- CD138 +ve.
- CD56 +ve.[8]
- Also +ve in NK/T cell lymphomas.
 
- Kappa -- usu. slightly stronger than lambda.
- Lambda.
- CD57.
- Also +ve in T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia.[9]
 
- CD38 +ve.[10]
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]
