Overview
Clinical presentations with immunohistochemical profile from flow cytometry and immunostaining may be utilized to differentiate plasma cell neoplasms from other diseases.
Differentiating Plasma Cell Neoplasms from Other Diseases
- For a patient with marrow plasmacytosis, based upon the kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) expression on immunostaining or flow cytometry, the differential dignoses include:
- Monoclonal plasma cell disorders is suggested by a markedly abnormal κ : λ ratio (>4 : 1 or <1 : 2) since plasma cells express either κ or λ.
- Polyclonal reactive plasmacytosis is suggested by the presence of both κ-staining plasma cells and λ-staining plasma cells, usually in a κ : λ ratio of 2 : 1.
- For a patient with monoclonal (M) proteins, the differential dignoses include: (click here for detailed criteria)[1]
- For an osteolytic lesion, multiple myeloma may be distinguished from metastatic carcinoma with an unrelated MGUS by the following findings:
- Multiple myeloma is suggested by the presence of serum and/or urinary M protein with ≥10% clonal bone marrow plasma cells.
- Metastatic carcinoma with an unrelated MGUS is suggested by a small M protein with <10% clonal bone marrow plasma cells.
- For plasmacytoma, the differential diagnoses include:
- Plasma cell granuloma is suggested by a balanced proliferation of κ– and λ–reacting plasma cells on immunohistochemical studies.
- Plasmacytoid lymphoma is suggested by a mixture of lymphocytes and plasma cells.
- Large cell lymphoma of immunoblastic type is suggested by the predominat lymph node involvement with expression of cytoplasmic IgM heavy chain and pan–B-cell surface antigens, whereas plasmacytoma typically has IgA or IgG heavy chain and is negative for pan–B-cell surface antigens.
