โฆ Synopsis
plasma cell neoplasms encompass a spectrum of diseases related to clonal expansion of neoplastic plasma cells and/or their precursors. these include essential monoclonal gammopathy, plasma cell myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma of bone or soft tissue, primary amyloidosis and immunoglobulin chain deposition diseases. plasma cell myeloma is the prototype of a plasma cell neoplasm that occurs as generalized disease involving primarily bone marrow with associated serum monoclonal protein and lytic bone lesions. this review first focuses primarily on plasma cell myeloma and its variants, and then discusses other plasma cell neoplasms.

Here the coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and plasma cell or lymphocytic neoplasms was investigated. An increased incidence is suggested, as 4 cases of rheumatoid arthritis were found amon
## Abstract Natural killer (NK) cell tumors are an uncommon and heterogeneous group of disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified mature NK cell neoplasms into 2 types: 1) extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal type and 2) aggressive NK cell leukemia. The mature NK cell tumors are preval
This study presents 19 patients with extramedullary plasma-cell tumors diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology together with immunocytochemistry. Eight patients had primary extramedullary plasmacytoma, while 11 patients had tumors secondary to myeloma. The most common localization was sof
