Bone marrow immunohistology of plasma cell neoplasms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of immunohistology to the spectrum of plasma cell disorders has yet to be incorporated widely into routine haematology practice. This technique enables the direct visualisation of specific surface and cytoplasmic antigens in the context of the individual cell and the surrounding anatomical neighbourhood. This review outlines the role of bone marrow immunohistology in the laboratory evaluation of patients with suspected and established plasma cell neoplasms and its emerging role in understanding myeloma biology for possible future therapeutic application.

The sensitivity of CD138 immunostaining of bone marrow trephine specimens for quantifying marrow involvement in MGUS and myeloma, including samples with a low percentage of plasma cells.
Accurate quantification of plasma cells in bone marrow samples is essential for the diagnosis, classification and prognosis of plasma-cell dyscrasias. Published comparisons between aspirate/trephine morphology, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry are lacking. Bone marrow plasma cells from 100 patients with plasma cell myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance were quanti...
متن کاملThe Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases
Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell proliferative disorder with limited immunotherapy treatment because of T cell dysfunction. Objective: To investigate the immunomodulatory function of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MM-BMSCs) on CD8+ T cells. Methods: Proliferation and cytotoxicity were detected by c...

Extramedullary plasmacytomas are plasma cell tumors that arise outside the bone marrow. They are most often located in the head and neck. Extramedullary plasmacytomas account for approximately 3 percent of plasma cell malignancies. The diagnosis of an extramedullary plasmacytoma depends upon the demonstration of a monoclonal plasma cell tumor at an extramedullary site with no evidence of multip...
متن کاملBone marrow stromal cells and their application in neural injuries
Background: This article reviews experimental and clinical studies in which neural injuries repaired with bone marrow stromal cells. History: Bone marrow contains two kinds of stem cells: hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic (stromal) stem cell. In vitro studies indicate that bone marrow stromal cells have the capacity of differentiation into other cells (such as neural cell) under treatment wit...
