BACKGROUND Plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs) presenting with masses are not common. Variable morphology, expression of CD56 and cyclin D1, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER) status have been described with a promising diagnostic role. There is no data of these findings in Thai patients. OBJECTIVE To study morphology, CD56 and cyclin D1 expression and EBER status in PCNs presenting with masses. MATERIAL AND METHOD Thirty-nine mass-forming PCNs with available materials between 2006 and 2010 were identified from Siriraj Hospital pathology database. H&E slides were reviewed for morphologic grade according to Bartl grading system. Immunohistochemistryfor CD56 and cyclin D1 and EBER in situ hybridization were analyzed on tissue microarray sections of the included cases. RESULTS Of 39 cases, it comprised 31 (79.5%) plasma cell myelomas (PCMs), five (12.8%) osseous plasmacytomas (OPs), and three (7.7%) extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs). Intermediate-grade morphology was common to all types of PCNs. CD56 and cyclin D1 positivity were more often in PCMs comparing with OPs and EMPs; however differences in expression of these markers among different types of PCNs were insignificant (p > 0.05). An EBER-positive EMP was identified. CONCLUSION The majority of mass-forming plasma cell tumors in the studied population are PCM-related. Intermediate-grade morphology is common in all types of PCNs. A value of CD56 and cyclin D1 immunostains in discrimination between types of PCNs cannot be confirmed in the current study. Identification of the EBER-positive EMP suggests that EBV association in plasma cell tumor can be encountered in Thais.

Immunophenotyping of Nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas and its Association with Epstein-Barr Virus

Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...

  Background and Objectives: Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is one of the members of herpesviridae family and a sub-category of Gamma herpes virinae. EBV, which normally has CR2 or CD21 receptors on B-lymphocytes, has mutagenic features for them. The virus plays an important role in causing some malignant cancers. About 30% of the cases with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are diffuse large B-cell l...
