title: The same type of crystalline inclusions in T-lymphocytes as in plasma cells and B-lymphocytes in multiple myeloma. A pathological clone originating from a common lymphocyte stem cell?
abstract: 2 patients with multiple myeloma had the same type of crystals in plasma cells, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. It is hypothesized that these crystals are formed in cells belonging to the same clone of pathological cells. The clone would then have to be derived from a common lymphocyte stem cell.
