Hepatoma associated with marked plasmacytosis and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia - 07/10/17
Abstract |
This patient had marked polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia associated with micronodular cirrhosis and hepatoma. Marked elevation of immunoglobulin levels appeared to be associated with the development of hepatic neoplasia. In addition to bone marrow plasmacytosis, plasma cells were associated with the regenerative cirrhotic and neoplastic hepatic nodules. The immunoglobulin and histopathologic findings suggest that the marked elevation of the gamma globulin levels was related to the neoplastic rather than to the underlying cirrhotic process. This case suggests that diffuse hypergammaglobulinemia and plasma cell hyperactivity may occur with hepatoma.
