| 1. | The liver is often moderately enlarged, with foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis.
|
| 2. | CD markers can aid in the distinction of extramedullary plasmacytoma from lymphomas.
|
| 3. | The fetal response to is variable and may include compensatory extramedullary hematopoiesis.
|
| 4. | Paraproteins are present in 60 % of SPB and less than 25 % of extramedullary plasmacytoma.
|
| 5. | The criteria for extramedullary plasmacytoma are the same but the tumor is located in soft tissue.
|
| 6. | Another complication of extramedullary hematopoiesis is poikilocytosis, or the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells.
|
| 7. | Tissue biopsies of SPB and extramedullary plasmacytoma are used to assess the phenotype of the plasma cells.
|
| 8. | The intradural network breaks down into the intramedullary and extramedullary systems which are sets of highly reliable veins.
|
| 9. | There may be evidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis ( marrow elements can be found in the spleen, liver ).
|
| 10. | They recognise three distinct entities : SPB, extramedullary plasmacytoma and multiple solitary plasmacytomas ( + /-recurrent ).
