A newly observed case of asymptomatic multiple myeloma in which phagocytic myeloma cells were observed is described. Bone marrow aspirates contained 16% myeloma cells, 2% of which engulfed red blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets. The possibility is discussed that phagocytizing ability may be one of the markers for malignant plasma cells. Nothing is so far known of the phagocytosis by plasma cells in benign monoclonal gammopathy which is strictly defined.
本文描述了一例新发现的无症状多发性骨髓瘤病例，其中观察到了吞噬性骨髓瘤细胞。骨髓穿刺物中含有16%的骨髓瘤细胞，其中2%吞噬红细胞、淋巴细胞和血小板。文中讨论了吞噬能力可能是恶性浆细胞的标志物之一。目前对于严格定义的良性单克隆丙种球蛋白病中浆细胞的吞噬作用尚无了解。
