Mott cell (Russell body) Barrett's esophagitis

Mott cell (Russell body) Barrett's esophagitis.

A n 80-year-old man presented with chronic pain in the epigastrium. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with esophageal biopsy was performed. Histopathologic sections showed Barrett’s mucosa (panel A; original magnification 320, hematoxylin and eosin stain) with marked plasmacytic infiltrate laden with numerous Russell bodies in the lamina propria (panel B; original magnification 340, hematoxyl...

Mott cell (Russell bodies) Barrett's oesophagitis.

The first case of Barrett's oesophagus with chronic inflammation having predominantly (> 50%) Mott cells, i.e. plasma cells with stored immunoglobulins, known as Russell bodies, is reported. Biopsies from two oesophagoscopies revealed similar changes, suggesting that the predominance of Mott cells is not a fortuitous event but a more long-lasting microscopic process. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) ...

Russell Body Gastritis: an Unusually Presentation of the Chronic Gastritis

Russell body gastritis is a rare form of chronic gastritis. It is characterized by the invasion of lamina propria by plasma cells that included eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion. In the literature, most of the cases are associated with Helicobacter pylori. Russell body gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection are generally seen together incidentally. We report here two cases of Russell body...
