Comparison of sizes and shapes of tumor cells in plasma cell leukemia and
plasma cell myeloma
T Isobe, Y Ikeda and H Ohta
Thirteen cases of plasma cell leukemia and 13 cases of nonleukemia plasma
cell myeloma were compared with respect to the sizes and shapes of tumor
cells in marrow smears. It was demonstrated that the leukemia cells were
elongated or ovoid and significantly smaller in size, whereas the myeloma
cells were generally more nearly round and larger.
