[Unusual course of plasmocytosis. Contribution to the problem of extramedullary and asecretory forms]
Abstract:
A case of plasmocytosis treated and observed for more than 4 years was characterized by an extraordinarily strong tendency to extramedullary manifestations and by a nearly asecretory course of disease. Its histomorphological explanation with regard to a differential diagnosis towards a possible secondary neoplasia was connected with many problems at the beginning of the disease when it had to be localized in the scull-face area as well as in the final stage. It may be assumed that this is one of those pictures of disease developing in the limiting area of the maturation zone ranging from the lymphoplasmacytoid cell type to the finally differentiated plasma cells and their systemic neoplasia. The term "plasmocytoma with an extra-osseous tumour expansion" will certainly correspond to its clinical picture in the best way.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets, with...
