Plasma Cell Myeloma with Unusual Expression of CD19, CD10, CD45 and Surface Light Chain in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Positive Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 52-year-old male with a history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection presented with acute renal failure, hypercalcemia, anemia, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Serum protein electrophoresis demonstrated an IgG kappa monoclonal protein and bone scan demonstrated multiple lytic bone lesions. Given patient history/clinical presentation of HIV infection and cervical lymphadenopathy, differential diagnosis includes plasma cell myeloma, B cell lymphoma with extensive plasmacytic differentiation, plasmablastic lymphoma and HHV-8 associated large B cell lymphoma.

CD93 is Selectively Expressed on Human Myeloma Cells but Not on B Lymphocytes
Background: CD93 has originally been known as a C1q receptor, and many studies have demonstrated that CD93 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, B cell progenitors, myeloid and monocytic cells. Moreover, CD93 is shown to be expressed on long-lived plasma cells, and CD93 deficient-mice display an impairment in plasma cell development. Objective: To investiga...
متن کاملTumor-specific aneuploidy not detected in CD19+ B-lymphoid cells from myeloma patients in a multidimensional flow cytometric analysis.
Aneuploidy and lg light chain restriction were used as separate, independent tumor specific markers to study 26 patients with multiple myeloma to determine whether bone marrow B cells, as defined by CD19 expression, are clonally related to myeloma plasma cells. Specimens were characterized using multidimensional flow cytometry to identify the presence of clonality in both the B lymphoid and pla...
متن کاملImmunophenotypic studies of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance
BACKGROUND Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common plasma cell dyscrasia, comprising the most indolent form of monoclonal gammopathy. However, approximately 25% of MGUS cases ultimately progress to plasma cell myeloma (PCM) or related diseases. It is difficult to predict which subset of patients will transform. In this study, we examined the immunophenotypic differ...
متن کاملLETTER TO THE EDITOR Novel multi-parameter flow cytometry sensitively detects phenotypically distinct plasma cell subsets in plasma cell proliferative disorders
The detection of abnormal plasma cells (PCs) is a fundamental element in diagnosing plasma cell proliferative disorders (PCPDs) such as multiple myeloma. Flow cytometry (FC) is routinely employed for this purpose; by this method, neoplastic PCs are identified either by restricted patterns of cytoplasmic immunoglobulin (cy-Ig) light chain expression or by aberrant patterns of surface antigen exp...
