anaplastic myeloma

anaplastic myeloma

An aggressive form of myeloma, which is histologically characterised by immunoblasts—large cells with abundant cytoplasm, prominent nucleoli and condensed chromatin. In extramedullary sites (e.g., maxillary sinus, caecum and pleura), anaplastic myelomas can be confused with other malignancies.
