Twenty-one patients with serum monoclonal gammopathy but lacking acceptable morphological evidence of myelomatosis were studied with reference to the degree, if any, of monoclonal plasma cell expansion in aspirated marrow samples, enriched for plasma cells and analysed with respect to light chain di

โฆ Synopsis
Besides cytopenia, dysplasia is crucial characteristic of MDS-RA. To summarize the morphological features that contribute to the diagnosis of MDS-RA, 48 RA patients with abnormal karyotype were analyzed for the features of morphological and cytogenetical abnormalities and the relationships between them. 46 MDS-RA patients with normal karyotype and 207 patients with non-MDS anemia were enrolled into control groups. More conspicuous and diverse dysplasia can be found in abnormal karyotype MDS-RA than those in control groups (P<0.05). Apparent dysplasia in granulocyte and megakaryocytoid lineages may provide valuable evidence for the diagnosis. Dysplasia occurred more frequently in patients with severe chromosome abnormalities.
