Abstract

In the majority of cases, histological diagnosis of plasma cell tumor can be made without difficulty; however, a proportion of them can represent a diagnostic challenge due to the wide spectrum of phenotypes that neoplastic plasma cells may exhibit. Numerous cytological and architectural variants have been well documented. Cytological, plasma cell tumors may show small, cleaved, multilobated, monocytoid, pleomorphic, histiocytoid, oncocytic, or clear cells. © International Journal of Surgical Pathology
