==Plasmacytoma==
==Plasma cell neoplasms==
===General===
{{Main|Plasma cell neoplasms}}
*[[AKA]] ''plasma cell myeloma''.
*These arise from ''plasma cells''.
*Malignancy derived from the plasma cells.
*[[AKA]] ''plasma cell myeloma'', ''plasmacytoma''.
*Histologic component of ''multiple myeloma''; to diagnose multiple myeloma other (non-pathology) criteria are needed.
*''Multiple myeloma'' (a clinical diagnosis) fits into this category.
*Prognosis: poor.
 
Clinical:<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_323>{{Ref PCPBoD8|323}}</ref>
*Bence Jones protein (urine).
*Abnormal protein electrophoresis (monoclonal gammopathy, dysproteinemia, paraproteinemia).
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm.
*Eccentrically placed nucleus.
**Usually with "clock face" morphology.
***"Clock face" morphology = chromatin clumps around the edge of the nucleus, like the numbers on a clock face.
**May have nucleoli.
*Russell bodies:
**Eosinophilic, large (10-15 micrometres), homogenous immunoglobulin-containing inclusions.

*Dutcher bodies - intranuclear crystalline rods.

*Prominent ''perinuclear hof'' - cytoplasmic crescent shaped lucency adjacent to the nuclear membrane (due to large Golgi apparatus); nucleus has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bib_%28garment%29 "bib"].

*Neuroendocrine carcinoma - nucleus often has a plasmacytoid (plasma cell-like) appearance.
