Russell bodies
Plasmacytoma with abundant Russell bodies. H&E stain.
Russell bodies are eosinophilic, large, homogenous immunoglobulin-containing inclusions usually found in a plasma cell undergoing excessive synthesis of immunoglobulin; the Russell body is characteristic of the distended endoplasmic reticulum.
This is one cell variation found in multiple myeloma.[1]
They are named for William Russell (1852-1940), a Scottish Physician.[2][3]
