Multiple myeloma, light micrograph
Multiple myeloma. Light micrograph of dystrophy (abnormality) of plasmocyte blood cells from bone marrow in a case of multiple myeloma, also known as Kahlers disease or plasma cell myeloma. Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. In this condition, large numbers of plasma cells are present, normally only a minor constituent of normal bone marrow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of multiple myeloma, a form of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. The light micrograph reveals a dystrophy or abnormality in these plasmocyte blood cells, which are typically only a small part of normal bone marrow. Also known as Kahler's disease or plasma cell myeloma, multiple myeloma is characterized by the presence of an excessive number of plasma cells. This condition disrupts the delicate balance within our circulatory system and immune system, leading to various health complications. The image highlights the malignant nature of this disease, emphasizing its impact on cellular biology and pathology. Through histopathology and oncological studies, researchers strive to understand these cancerous abnormalities at a microscopic level. As we delve into this mesmerizing visual representation, it serves as a reminder of both the complexity and fragility of our own bodies. It prompts us to appreciate the remarkable field of medicine that tirelessly works towards unraveling such disorders and finding effective treatments for patients battling with multiple myeloma. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources like this photograph for scientific research purposes without any commercial intent.
