Summary In 54 patients with multiple myeloma plasma cell infiltration was compared in bone marrow biopsies and aspirates. In 48% of cases plasma cell infiltration was comparable, in 48% infiltration in the aspirate was lower than in the biopsy. In only two cases more plasma cells were found ...

Solitaryplasmacytomasare composed of plasma cells, which on biopsy are histologically identical to those seen in MM. Solitary plasmacytomas most frequently occur in bone (SPB), but can also be found insoft tissues.22–24SBP is characterized by a biopsy-proven clone of plasma cells, bone survey...
1.Presence of plasma cells in the circulating blood. 2.Presence of unusually large proportions of plasma cells in the tissues or exudates. [plasmacyte + G.-osis,condition] Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary © Farlex 2012 plasmacytosis
A bone marrow biopsy revealed 40% plasma cells with κ light chain restriction. Thus, she was considered to have MM. A renal biopsy revealed neoplastic plasma cell infiltration within the kidney, moderate interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and punctate, electron-dense material along the ...
Flow cytometry confirmed a population of monotypic plasma cells (28% of total cells). Bone marrow biopsy revealed a hypercellular plasma cell infiltrate with complex clonal karyotypic abnormalities, including the t(11;14)(q13;q32), rearrangements of 1p, and gain of 1q. FISH analysis showed an...
The high concentration of plasma cells in bone marrow also allowed us to calibrate the microfluidic cell capture with standard flow cytometry (Fig. 4c). A linear correlation was obtained (slope = 0.683, R2 = 0.9995), with excellent agreement between microfluidic capture and flow cytometry...
@gardenturtle: There is a condition called plasma cell myeloma (also known as multiple myeloma, Kahler disease, and myelomatosis). It is a type of cancer that begins in the plasma cells. It occurs when abnormal plasma cells multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow. ...
Case presentation: We report on an 88-year-old male who presented with a mass lesion in the clavicular region. A biopsy of the mass revealed an increase in mature plasma cells with round nuclei. In contrast, a bone marrow examination showed increased plasma cells with flower-shaped nuclei. ...
