Schwannoma with monoclonal plasma cell infiltration
Journal of Neurosurgery, 09/08/09
Plaut J et al. – The authors report a very rare case of a vestibular schwannoma with an infiltrate of monoclonal plasma cells. A 45–year–old woman underwent routine excision of a presumed vestibular schwannoma. Histological analysis revealed the presence of a distinct lambda light chain restricted plasma cell population within the schwannoma. The light chain restriction and polymerase chain reaction–demonstrated monoclonality of the plasma cell population suggested the co–occurrence of a plasma cell neoplasm within a schwannoma.
