Follicular center-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation, monoclonal paraprotein, and peripheral blood involvement. Recapitulation of normal B-cell development. 1985

J F Vago, and P E Hurtubise, and M M Redden-Borowski, and O J Martelo, and S H Swerdlow

A patient with a nodular and diffuse small-cleaved follicular center-cell lymphoma that exhibited definite plasmacytic differentiation, a related monoclonal gammopathy, and circulating population of small lymphocytes is presented. Aside from showing that the presence of numerous plasma cells is not a reliable criterion for the diagnosis of a reactive follicular proliferation, the case is an example of a lymphoma without a block in maturation. The "neoplastic" B-cells show development to follicular center cells and beyond, to functioning plasma cells, and probably also to recirculating "memory" cells. It also suggests that plasmacytoid lymphocytic lymphomas (Lukes-Collins classification) might represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoid neoplasms with some closely related to follicular center-cell lymphomas and others more closely related to small lymphocytic lymphoma/B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D010266 Paraproteins Abnormal immunoglobulins synthesized by atypical cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM. Paraproteins containing only light chains lead to Bence Jones paraproteinemia, while the presence of only atypical heavy chains leads to heavy chain disease. Most of the paraproteins show themselves as an M-component (monoclonal gammopathy) in electrophoresis. Diclonal and polyclonal paraproteins are much less frequently encountered. Paraprotein
D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.
