We report a 38-year-old woman diagnosed with tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) on renal biopsy, followed by being diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Immunohistochemically, the cellular infiltrates in TIN were mainly composed of small lymphocytes and IgM-positive plasmacytoid large lymphocytes. IgM-positive plasmacytoid large lymphocytes were not identical with, but colocalized with CD3- or CD20-positive lymphocytes. TIN in patients with PBC is very rare and little is known about immunohistochemical characteristics of infiltrating cells in this setting. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating predominant infiltrating of IgM-positive plasmacytoid large lymphocytes in TIN due to PBC and SS.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is characterized by serum IgM monoclonal gammopathy, and only occasionally complicated by immune thrombocytopenia. Rarely, coexistence of non-IgM gammopathy in WM has been reported. Herein, we describe an 81-year-old case of WM with rapidly progressive immune thrombocytopenia accompanied by concurrent IgG gammopathy and elevation of platelet-associated IgG (PA-IgG).

Clinicopathologic features of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and marginal zone lymphoma: are they distinct or the same entity?

Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) is considered in the World Health Organization classification as a clinical syndrome associated with monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) M secretion, mainly observed in patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) and occasionally with other small B-cell lymphomas. Some authors consider it a rare distinct lymphoproliferative disorder with primary bone marrow infiltration and IgM monoclonal gammopathy. As LPL shares important morphologic and immunophenotypic overlaps with marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (MZLs) in cases showing plasmacytic maturation, it remains unclear if they constitute unique or distinct entities.

Extreme plasmacytosis in peripheral blood is a rare finding most often associated with plasma cell leukemia but rarely with other malignancies, infectious diseases, or drug reactions. We report the case of a 40-year-old man who was a US expatriate working and traveling in East Asia. He presented with complaints of fever, myalgia, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea of 3 days' duration.
