Immunoglobulin-Storing Histiocytosis: A Case Based Systemic Review

Abstract: Crystal-storing histiocytosis (CSH) is a rare event in disorders associated with monoclonal gammopathy and is mostly associated with the accumulation of immunoglobulins (Igs) in the cytoplasm of histiocytes. In this article, we present a case of a 75-year-old female with IgG kappa monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and signs of a non-crystallized version of immunoglobulin-storing histiocytosis (IgSH) in a vertebra corpus. Furthermore, we performed a literature review based on all cases o… Show more

“…Histiocytes contained Immunoglobulin (Ig) fragments derived from neoplastic plasma cells, themselves filled by abnormal inclusions. As recently reported, 1 our case further illustrates informative clues about the peculiar morphological features of CSH.…”

“…A majority of cases show serum and/or urine paraprotein. Preferential association with κ light chains has been reported 1 . In the present case, numerous histiocytes with abundant cytoplasm filled with globular eosinophilic material were identified among plasma cells.…”

“…1 Cases of immunoglobulin-storing histiocytosis without a crystallized pattern of the deposited immunoglobulins have also been rarely described. 2 CSH can be localized (involving one site) or generalized (involving two or more sites). The most frequently involved sites include bone, head and neck, kidney, and lung.…”

“…One of the rarest types of MGRS is crystal-storing histiocytosis [3][4][5], characterized by the accumulation of light chain crystals within histiocyte's cytoplasm, located in the bone marrow [6,7] or other extramedullary sites such as the kidney, cornea, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and thyme. Few cases have also been described as immunoglobulinstoring histiocytosis (IgSH), with or without evidence of crystals, located in the bone marrow or other sites [8,9].…”
