Overview

A bone marrow aspiration is essential in the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Bone Marrow Aspirate

A bone marrow aspirate is essential in the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Findings suggestive of Waldenström macroglobulinemia include:[1]

  • A hypercellular bone marrow aspirate.
  • Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with characteristic immunophenotype.

Bone Marrow Biopsy

A bone marrow biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia. [1]

Findings on the biopsy suggestive of Waldenström macroglobulinemia include:[1]

  • Dutcher bodies (PAS positive intra-nuclear vacuoles containing IgM monoclonal protein)
    • Characteristic feature of Waldenström macroglobulinemia

Three patterns of marrow involvement are described, as follows:

  • Lymphoplasmacytoid cells (lymphoplasmacytic and small lymphocytes) in a nodular pattern
  • Lymphoplasmacytic cells (small lymphocytes, mature plasma cells, mast cells) in an interstitial/nodular pattern
  • A polymorphous infiltrate (small lymphocytes, plasma cells, plasmacytoid cells, immunoblasts with mitotic figures)
