Abstract: | The case of an 80-year-old man with plasma cell leukemia characterized by basophilic cytoplasm, and extensive lobulated nuclei is described. In spite of the peculiar morphologic nuclei, the diagnosis was based on the presence of M protein and Bence Jones protein in the serum and urine, immunophenotypic characteristics, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, and findings of transmission electron microscopy. |
