One of the consultants sent out pictures of thee cells last week. I got round to having a look this morning.
“This
week's film is a bone marrow trephine roll from a 65 year old man
What
is the diagnosis ?
What
are the inclusions called ?
You
can get similar inclusions in other parts of the cells in this condition - what
are they called ?”
I’d
say this was a case of myeloma – the cells look like Mott cells; the individual
inclusions being Russell bodies. There’s more on Mott cells here
As
for other inclusions, the ASH is rather
vague on the matter. There are sometimes crystals, Auer rod–like
inclusions, and rarely azurophilic granules but as for a specific name… I don’t
know. I shall have to find out…
