A 54-year-old man of Greek origin presented with bone pain, headache, and epistaxis. Laboratory evaluation showed anemia (5.4 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (30 × 109/L), neutropenia (1.18 × 109/L), and immunoglobulin G λ paraprotein (68 g/L). Blood smear examination (panels A-D; original magnification ×500; May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) demonstrated 27% atypical plasma cells (panel A), leading to the diagnosis of primary plasma cell leukemia. Initial red blood cell transfusion increased the hemoglobin (Hb) level (7.9 g/dL). Three days later, the Hb level was 4.7 g/dL with reticulocytes of 35.7 × 109/L (2.3%). Blood smear examination revealed the appearance of red blood cell so-called hemighosts (panels B-D, arrows [B]). These atypical red blood cells in which the Hb is confined to 1 side of the erythrocyte highly suggested hemolytic anemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Hemolysis was confirmed by the decrease of haptoglobin (,0.10 g/L) and cotrimoxazole was identified ...

Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is the most aggressive form of the plasma cell (PC) malignancy, multiple myeloma (MM). It has been commonly associated with the presence of a chromosome translocation involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus on 14q32, i.e. t (11;14). Results from early phase clinical trials utilizing the selective bcl-2 inhibitor, venetoclax, as a single agent in patients with relapsed MM have had remarkable efficacy among patients with t (11;14) abnormality. The present case demonstrates the ability of a combination regimen incorporating bcl-2 inhibition with daratumumab, bortezomib, venetoclax and dexamethasone to induce a rapid and very deep hematologic response in a pPCL patient with t (11;14), even in a setting of very refractory disease ...

Professor Curly Morris, Consultant Haematologist and Chair of the guideline committee, said: The NICE guideline on myeloma will be of benefit to patients and provide clarity for clinicians in a number of areas where, until now, there has been uncertainty. Key recommendations include clarifying the number and timing of diagnostic tests performed on people with possible myeloma and their radiological assessment.. While drug treatment options are largely covered by existing NICE guidance, it has been possible to make a strong recommendation in favour of second stem cell transplants for suitable patients and also for the best management of primary Plasma Cell Leukaemia, a very aggressive form of myeloma. Additionally there are important recommendations for the management of people with myeloma who have bone disease, including active interventions, management of people with renal disease, pain management and supportive care especially around thrombosis, infection and neuropathy.. Monica Morris is ...

Abstract Solitary plasmacytoma (SP) and Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) are uncommon (3-6%) types of plasma cell disease. The risk of progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) is probably important for the outcome of SP. PCL is rare and has a dismal outcome. In this study we report on incidence and survival in PCL/SP, and progression…

The acquired inhibitors of coagulation have been observed in very rare cases of monoclonal gammopathies. We report a very rare case of anti-factor XI antibodies in patient with plasma cell leukemia (PCL). This is a 59-year-old male patient without pathological history, admitted to the nephrology department for management of renal insufficiency and anemia syndrome. The history and physical examination revealed stigmata of hemorrhagic syndrome including hemothorax and hemoptysis. The hemostasis assessment showed an isolated prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) with APTT ratio = 2.0.The index of circulating anticoagulant (37.2%) revealed the presence of circulating anticoagulants. The normalized dilute Russell viper venom time ratio of 0.99 has highlighted the absence of lupus anticoagulants. The coagulation factors assay objectified the decrease of the factor XI activity corrected by the addition of the control plasma confirming the presence of anti-factor XI autoantibodies.

Primary PCL is rare, with an estimated 1 per million of the general population diagnosed each year. Secondary PCL occurs in one to four out of 100 cases of myeloma and is becoming more common as myeloma patients are living longer.. As with myeloma, PCL is more common in African Americans than in Caucasians and is slightly more common in men than in women. As new insights and knowledge about the biology of myeloma and PCL are gained, it may be possible to determine which myeloma patients are at increased risk for developing PCL.. The causes of PCL are similar to those of myeloma. A series of genetic alterations during the development of a plasma cell may to lead to the cells uncontrolled growth. However, what triggers these alterations is not fully known. Risk factors, such as age and exposure to industrial and environmental elements, are thought to play important roles.. ...

In the early 1980s, McElwain and colleagues demonstrated that high-dose melphalan (Alkeran, 100-400 mg/m2) was very effective in patients with aggressive (plasma cell leukemia) or refractory myeloma.[ 1] Other researchers subsequently confirmed these results.[2-4] Unfortunately, the duration of cytopenia associated with such treatment was excessive (3 to 4 weeks), leading to a treatment-related mortality rate of 10% to 20%. 1

SUMMARY OF RESULTS: In total, 582 patients were included - 39 patients had multiple myeloma (6.7%). A single case of plasmacytoma and plasma cell leukaemia was identified. Waldenströms macroglobulinaemia was identified in seven patients (1.2%) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) in 83 patients (14.3%). Due to the risk of progression from MGUS to multiple myeloma, patients need to be re-evaluated biannually, shown to be the case in only 11% of cases ...

Extensive studies have been undertaken to describe naive B cells differentiating into memory B cells at a cellular and molecular level. However, relatively little is known about the fate of memory B cells upon Ag re-encounter. We have previously established a system based on virus-like particles

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a debilitating malignancy that is part of a spectrum of diseases ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) to plasma cell leukemia. First described in 1848, MM is characterized by a proliferation of malignant plasma cells and a subsequent overabundance of monoclonal paraprotein (M protein).

In cooperation with the 1st Internal Clinics of the General University Hospital in Prague, we perform long-term cultivation of primary cells from patients with multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukemia. Two cell lines, UHKT-893 and UHKT-944, have already been established and characterized.. ...

A patient with primary PCL that was resistant to chemotherapy was the first reported recipient of anti-IL-6 (115) . The patient was a 61-year-old male with primary PCL, bone lesions, hypercalcemia, renal deficiency, anemia, leukocytosis, bone marrow invasion by malignant plasma cells, and 25% myeloma cells in the peripheral blood. After giving informed consent, the patient received daily i.v. infusions of mAb to IL-6 (murine BE-4 and murine BE-8) in the following dosing regimen: days 0-5, 40 mg of BE-4; day 6, 120 mg of BE-4; days 7-10, 8 mg of BE-8; days 11-14, 4 mg of BE-8; days 15 and 16, 20 of mg BE-4; days 17-23, no injection; days 24-59, 8 mg of BE-8; days 60-63, no injection; days 64-67, 16 mg of BE-8; and after day 68, no injection.. There was inhibition of myeloma cell proliferation in the bone marrow, along with decreased serum levels of calcium and monoclonal IgG. Levels of CRP became undetectable, and no serious side effects were noted. This study demonstrated the potential of mAb to ...

Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are smaller and more dense than chylomicrons (see Figure 2). VLDLs contain triacylglycerols, some cholesterol and cholesteryl esters and the apoproteins; apo- B100, apo-CI, apo-CII, apo-CIII, and apoE. VLDLs exist to remove triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters from the liver and distribute them throughout the body. As VLDLs move into the circulating plasma they are converted first to intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and then into low density lipoproteins (LDL). Lipoprotein lipase serves to remove the majority of fatty acids from both the VLDL and IDL, thus increasing the density of the lipoproteins while maintaining cholesterol and cholesteryl ester concentrations. The removal of fatty acids and the loss of all apolipoproteins except apoB-100 and apo(a) results in LDL. LDLs are the primary plasma carriers of cholesterol for delivery to all tissues. LDL can be absorbed by the liver and other tissues via receptor mediated endocytosis.. ...

Clinically, the patient presented with hyperviscosity syndrome, mimicking the clinical manifestation of Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia. In addition, the IgM para-protein from the patient behaved like cryoglobulins, which interfered with some of the laboratory measurements and resulted in erroneous platelet count, mean platelet volume, and serum IgM level. Despite chemotherapy, the PCM persisted and progressed to plasma cell leukemia, and the patient died of a left ...

Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell dyscrasia, is the most common primary malignancy of the bone marrow.The etiology of myeloma is largely unknown, although genetic predisposition and environmental factors have been speculated. MM arises from malignant plasma cells that clonally expand and accumulate in the bone marrow. These clonal plasma cells produce high levels of monoclonal immunoglobulins. Plasma cell dyscrasias are classified as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, solitary plasmacytoma, smoldering myeloma, active myeloma, extra-skeletal myeloma, or plasma cell leukemia.. In 2015 an estimated 26,850 adults (14,090 men and 12,760 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It is estimated that 11,240 deaths (6,240 men and 5,000 women) from this disease will occur this year.. In recent years, new and more effective drugs have become available for the treatment of MM. Such drugs have been evaluated together and in combination with older agents, ...

We have used genome-wide methylation microarrays to analyze differences in CpG methylation patterns in cells relevant to the pathogenesis of myeloma plasma cells, including B cells, normal plasma cells, MGUS, presentation myeloma, and plasma cell leukemia (PCL). We show that methylation patterns in these cell types are capable of distinguishing non-malignant from malignant cells and that the main reason for this difference is hypomethylation of the genome at the transition from MGUS to presentation myeloma. In addition, gene-specific hypermethylation was evident at the myeloma stage. Differential methylation was also evident at the transition from myeloma to PCL with re-methylation of the genome, particularly of genes involved in cell-cell signaling and cell adhesion, which may contribute to independence from the bone marrow microenvironment. There was a high degree of methylation variability within presentation myeloma samples and this was associated with the cytogenetic differences between ...

Salt Lake City resident John Philpott was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of plasma cell leukemia in 2012. He learned his best option would be to rely on a stranger for a bone marrow transplant the year after he was diagnosed.. My doctors put it very simply to me. They said, You can go through the very rigorous process of receiving a bone marrow transplant or you can die, Philpott said. Julianne Grose, a BYU professor of microbiology and molecular biology, said bone marrow stem cells produce an individuals blood, which includes the three essential cells within the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. When certain diseases, such as cancers of the blood, overtake the body, these cells must be replaced.. The lymphoma and leukemia cells are so aggressive that theyve taken over the healthy cells in that persons body, so theres no way to overcome the leukemia or lymphoma without rigorously treating that person to get rid of the unhealthy cells completely, Grose ...

Hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) is a very rare form of blood cancer. It usually develops very slowly and is referred to as a chronic leukaemia.

Twenty-six patients with JDM (14 male, 12 female) were included in this study. 73% of biopsies (n=19) contained CD20+ B cells while only 26% of biopsies (n=7) contained CD138+ plasma cells. The score for CD20+ cells was strongly correlated with the score for CD3+ cells (r=0.81; p,0.0001) and the inflammatory domain score (r=0.87; p,0.0001). Among those biopsies that contained CD138+ plasma cells, the CD138+ score was correlated with the score for CD20+ cells (r=0.89; p=0.026), the score for CD3+ infiltrating cells (r=1.0; p,0.0001) and the inflammatory domain score (r=0.84; p=0.015). In most cases, B cells were co-localised with T cells especially at perivascular and endomysial regions but in some cases they were diffusely scattered. No specific patterns were observed for plasma cells which were found as individual scattered cells mainly in the perimysium. ...

Unfortunately, there is limited data on this patient population to help drive treatment options, Gharibo reflects. Proteasome inhibitors and chemotherapy can help achieve remission in a certain subset of patients for a short period of time. Usually we try to give chemotherapy, then perform an autologous transplant to optimize outcome. But given Cicons age and the fact that he was in good health prior to being diagnosed, Gharibo recommended a less common treatment regimen - an autologous transplant (in which a patients own peripheral blood stem cells are collected and reinfused in the body) followed by an allogeneic transplant, which utilizes stem cells or bone marrow from another donor. Time is of the essence, she says - noting the reason why this strategy is not widely pursued for plasma cell leukemia is that some patients dont have the advantage of being treated at a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center like Rutgers Cancer Institute. It is beneficial for ...

Plasma cell dyscrasias are characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of a single clone of B cells which is responsible for the secretion of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) or Ig subunit that can become deposited in tissues. They can cause a wide range of renal diseases.Light-chain amyloidosis-renal presentation is usually with proteinuria, often progressing to nephrotic syndrome. Progressive decline in renal function usually occurs, leading finally to endstage renal failure. Diagnosis is made by the detection of monoclonal gammopathy in serum and/or urine (90% of cases) in combination with biopsy evidence of amyloid- forming light chain deposits. Chemotherapy with oral mephalan plus dexamethasone should be considered as first line treatment....

Hematologic oncology incorporates such diseases as iron inadequacy anemia, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, the thalassemia, leukemia and lymphomas, and in addition to these there are cancers of different organs. Tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues or hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues are tumors that influence the blood, bone marrow, lymph, and lymphatic system. Plasma cell dyscrasias are scatters of the plasma cells. Plasma cell dyscrasias are created because of strange multiplication of a monoclonal population of plasma cells that might possibly discharge recognizable levels of a monoclonal immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin part (Para protein or M protein). Interminable lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a sort of tumor of the blood and bone marrow - the supple tissue inside bones where platelets are made. Myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative ...

Multiple myeloma is cancer that affects certain white blood cells called plasma cells. It represents about 1 percent of all cancers in the United States, and about 22,000 Americans are diagnosed with it each year.. Plasma cells, and other white blood cells, are part of the immune system. Plasma cells produce antibodies--immune system proteins that assist the body in ridding itself of harmful substances. Each plasma cell responds to one specific substance by producing one kind of antibody. The body has many types of plasma cells, and, therefore, can respond to many types of substances.. When cancer occurs, the body overproduces plasma cells, which are abnormal and alike. These abnormal plasma cells are called myeloma cells.. Myeloma cells collect in the bone marrow and the outer layer of the bone. Because the cells begin in the blood plasma, myeloma is not a bone cancer, but is cancer that affects bones.. ...

This is the first study to show the preclinical utility and translational relevance of the iMycCα/Bcl-XL GEM model of PCM. We showed that MLN2238 prolonged overall survival, reduced splenomegaly, and attenuated IgG2a levels of iMycCα/Bcl-XL mice after only 6 weeks of treatment. Nevertheless, comparing the average immunoglobulin and cytokine levels from mice reaching humane endpoints across different treatment groups has it limitations. Linden and colleagues showed that similar to human multiple myeloma where elevation of serum immunoglobulin often precedes the manifestation of malignant diseases, the single Bcl-XL TG alone can lead to immunoglobulin elevations in the absence of PCM (25). Given the stochastic nature of tumor development and heterogeneity of immunoglobulin elevations in the iMycCα/Bcl-XL model (Supplementary Table S2), it is not surprising that the current cross-sectional manner of comparing the average immunoglobulin levels across different treatment groups at the end of the ...

The patient was a 68 year old gentleman of Italian ancestry who noticed the insidious onset of lesion on his anterior right thigh that first was noticed by the patient in February of 2006. The lesion was a sharply demarcated crescent shaped plaque over the right anterior thigh. The skin lesion was unaccompanied by any systemic stigmata such as weight loss, fever and or night sweats. The plaque progressed in size and eventually reached a diameter of 12 centimeters in greatest dimension over the anterior thigh. A biopsy performed in February of 2006 was interpreted as representing granuloma annulare. Due to the persistence and progression of the eruption, the biopsy was repeated in August of 2006. It was at this point that a diagnosis of a granulomatous T cell dyscrasia was made based on the combined light microscopic, phenotypic and clinical features, all of which will be alluded to presently. Despite the finding of significant cytologic atypia and specific phenotypic abnormalities along with ...

We have recently demonstrated that the CD40 molecule was expressed on both normal human plasma cells and most malignant plasma cells, i.e., myeloma cells. Thus, we have investigated its putative role in the proliferation of myeloma cells. We report that 7 of 15 myeloma cell lines were CD40+ but only one, XG2, presented a high level of CD40 expression. We show that the CD40 stimulation by anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of the interleukin 6-dependent myeloma cell line XG2 induced a total inhibition of its proliferation. This inhibition was also observed when cells were either cultured in the CD40 system, where the anti-CD40 mAb has been immobilized on fibroblasts expressing Fc receptors or in the presence of a soluble chimeric CD40 ligand molecule. This inhibition of proliferation was neither accompanied by differentiation nor apoptosis. Triggering CD40 induced an homotypic aggregation of XG2 cells, and the inhibition of proliferation was totally prevented by a blocking anti-CD18 mAb. ...

The event was organised and led by Dr Dima El-Sharkawi, a Consultant Haematologist at The Royal Marsden, and provided an excellent opportunity to find out more about hairy cell leukaemia (HCL), the latest treatment options and advice on nutrition and coping with the emotional impact of living with the condition.

After the process of affinity maturation in germinal centers, plasma cells have an indeterminate lifespan, ranging from days to months. Recently they have been shown to reside for much longer periods in the bone marrow as long-lived plasma cells (LLPC). They secrete high levels of antibodies, ranging from hundreds to thousands of antibodies per second per cell.[5] Unlike their precursors, they cannot switch antibody classes, cannot act as antigen-presenting cells because they no longer display MHC-II, and do not take up antigen because they no longer display significant quantities of immunoglobulin on the cell surface.[4] However, continued exposure to antigen through those low levels of immunoglobulin is important, as it partly determines the cells lifespan.[4]. The lifespan, class of antibodies produced, and the location that the plasma cell moves to also depends on signals, such as cytokines, received from the T cell during differentiation.[6] Differentiation through a T cell-independent ...

Multiple myeloma is one of the most common cancers among 9/11 responders and survivors. Turley Hansen has represented many claimants with Multiple myeloma since cancer was added to the list of illnesses covered under the Zadroga Act. Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer formed by malignant plasma cells that develop in bone marrow. As a result, this cancer can result in broken bones (fractures) from only minor stress or injury. It can also result in pain in any bone, but is most often in the back, the hips, and skull. It can also result in low red and white cell blood counts which can produce fatigue and infections. ...

Multiple myeloma causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, where they displace and suppress healthy blood progenitor cell populations. Multiple myeloma is also characterized by destructive lytic bone lesions (rounded, punched-out areas of bone), diffuse osteoporosis, bone pain, and the production of abnormal proteins, which accumulate in the urine. Anemia is also present in most multiple myeloma patients at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up. Anemia in multiple myeloma is multifactorial, and is secondary to bone marrow replacement by malignant plasma cells, chronic inflammation, relative erythropoietin deficiency, and vitamin deficiency.. There is currently no standard multiple myeloma treatment. A patients individual treatment plan is based on such factors as age and general health, results of laboratory and cytogenetic (genomic) tests, symptoms and disease complications, prior myeloma treatment, patients lifestyle, goals, views on quality of life, and personal ...
