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 laborat...
متن کاملPlasma cell myeloma and related neoplasms.
Session 1 of the 2009 Workshop of the Society for Hematopathology/European Association of Haematopathology, Cleveland, OH, focused on plasma cell neoplasms. This report summarizes the salient diagnostic, clinical, and genetic features of plasma cell myeloma (PCM) and related neoplasms. Based on the cases submitted to the workshop, we highlight common diagnostic issues and unusual manifestations...
متن کاملCystic pancreatic neoplasms
Cystic pancreatic neoplasms are uncommon, but are being seen more frequently due to the widespread use of crosssectional imaging. In this article, we will address the clinical and imaging features of the more commonly seen neoplasms. Points of differentiation between these neoplasms, the use of cyst fluid analysis and an approach to the incidentally discovered cystic mass will be addressed.
