Plasmacytoma

Introduction: Plasmacytoma is a tumor of monoclonal, lytic B lymphocytes that produce abnormally large amounts of immunoglobulins. They can be found in various organs of the body, including the central nervous system, lymph nodes and other organs. A more common form of plasmacytoma, multiple myeloma, can lead to severe kidney failure and elevated levels of beta-2 microglobulin in the blood. This article will cover everything you need to know about plasmacytomas and their treatment.

Definition: Plasmocytes are lymphocytes that produce antibodies. Their main task is to produce antibodies in response to antigens entering the body. Plasmocytes produce antibodies in response to exposure to viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Abnormal proliferation of plasma cells in tissues and bone marrow leads to the formation of plasmacytomas, this is observed in such cases as human cancer - multiple myelma. Multiple myelloma is one of the oncological neoplasms that leads to a malignant process of malignant bone marrow cells. This process causes the body to produce abnormally large amounts of protein antibodies, making it unable to properly fight off infectious agents. Causes of the disease: The pathology is characterized by heredity. This is confirmed by morbidity statistics - the average age of patients, most often men, is 65-75 years. Multiple myeloma is often called "Albert Einstein's disease." The luminary of science himself lived about 82 years and at the same time had a heredity predisposing to multiple myeloma. A close relative of the brilliant scientist was as ill as Einstein himself. Accurate for now
