Kobayashi G, Imai T, Sentani K. Distribution and Clinicopathological Features of Mott Cells (Plasma Cells Containing Russell Bodies) in Gastric Cancer: Presence of Mott Cells Is Associated with Favorable Prognosis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:658. [PMID: 38337351 PMCID: PMC10856670 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is still one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. We previously reported the relationship between histological heterogeneity of tumor cells and molecular features in GC. The tumor microenvironment also has a crucial role in GC progression and therapeutic resistance. In this study, we focused on the tumor microenvironment, especially inflammatory cells in GC. Using GC tissue slides, we investigated the distribution and clinicopathological significance of inflammatory cell counts including eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between Mott cells (plasma cells containing Russell bodies) and clinicopathological features. In neoplastic gastric mucosa, a high number of plasma cells was associated with low T-grade, early stage, and good prognosis. We then focused on Mott cells and found that their presence in neoplastic gastric mucosa was associated with lower T and N grades, early stage, and Helicobacter pylori infection and was inversely associated with CD44 and EGFR expression. Additionally, the presence of Mott cells was associated with good prognosis in advanced GC and was an independent favorable prognostic predictor. The presence of Mott cells in GC might be one useful prognostic predictor, and Mott cells might have an important role in the carcinogenesis of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Blockade of the secretion of immunoglobulins leads to their accumulation in plasma cells, resulting in condensed immunoglobulins in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of plasma cells, termed Russell bodies. They are sometimes found in lymphoplasmacellular inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and in lymphoid cell malignancies, but only very rarely in skin diseases. Here, we report an 86-year-old female who presented with a lesion with the prominent accumulation of Russell bodies underlying pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia with fungal infection in the face. Immunohistochemical staining showed the cells containing Russell bodies to be positive for CD138 and the Russell bodies to be positive for immunoglobulin κ and λ light chains. The present case suggests that when inflammatory cell infiltration with abundant round intracellular eosinophilic materials is observed in the dermis, the dermal accumulation of Russell bodies should be considered in cases with reactive pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia with fungal infection.

Abstract
Introduction Russell body inflammation of the digestive tract (RBIDT) is a rare chronic inflammation of the digestive tract mucosa that commonly presents as Russell body gastritis (RBG). This disease is usually associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. However, it can also occur in individuals without HP infection and with specific immune profiles, as seen in HIV and hepatitis C infections. The aetiology and pathogenesis of this disease remain controversial. Given the rarity of the disease and the diversity of the immunophenotypes, there is a high probability of misdiagnosis. Case presentation A male patient with RBG and HP infection was included in this study. The case of RBG with an unusual morphology of Mott cells that mimics stamped ring cells.Endoscopy performed during the follow-up revealed regression of the lesion 1 week after anti-HP treatment. Conclusions A case of RBG with a high likelihood of misdiagnosis of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) has been reported in this study along with a review of the relevant literature and an overview of RBIDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Russell body gastritis (RBG) is very rare type of chronic inflammation of gastric mucosa. The pathologic hallmark of the disease is Russell bodies (RB) which represent accumulation of eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions in endoplasmic reticulum of mature plasma cells (Mott cells). Most published cases are associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection because of correlation between plasma cell activation and antigenic stimulation. There are insufficient data about H. pylori-negative RBG and very little is known about the natural course of the disease.
CASE SUMMARY A 51-year-old male patient underwent endoscopic screening for mild iron deficiency anemia. Gastroscopy revealed diffuse hyperemia, edema and nodularity of the fundic and corpus mucosa. Due to non-specific endoscopic findings and iron-deficiency anemia our preliminary diagnosis was diffuse type of gastric carcinoma or gastric lymphoma. Biopsy specimens of gastric mucosa showed inflammatory infiltrate rich in Mott cells, consisting entirely of cytoplasmic RB. Absence of nuclear atypia and mitosis of the plasma cells, polyclonal pattern of the Mott cells and negative staining for cytokeratins favored diagnosis of RBG. The patient was treated with proton-pump inhibitor for 8 wk. Long-term clinical and endoscopic surveillance was scheduled. Albeit, there was no improvement in endoscopic features of the gastric mucosa in three consecutive gastroscopies, histopathological findings demonstrated that the chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the fundic mucosa is less pronounced, rich in plasma cells, with almost absent RB and Mott cells.
CONCLUSION The prognosis of this entity is uncertain, that is why these patients are subjects of continuous follow up.

Abstract
Russell body gastritis is caused by an accumulation of plasma cells
within the gastric mucosa. These plasma cells are characterized by
eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions of immunoglobulin which are called
“Russell bodies”. We report a case of Russell body gastritis in a
28-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and rectal
bleeding. Endoscopy showed erosions with edema and vascular congestion
in the gastric body and antrum. The biopsy showed chronic gastritis
with plasma cell infiltration of the lamina propria. Many plasma cells
contained cytoplasmic Russell bodies which stained positive for CD138,
CD79a, Kappa and lambda light chains. The Russell bodies were negative
for pancytokeratin, excluding signet ring cell carcinoma. Russell body
gastritis is an uncommon, benign reactive condition.

Abstract
An abnormal clonal plasma cell proliferation with Russell bodies is rare in chronic inflammatory reactions in adult patients. We describe the first case of light chain restricted Russell body accumulation within germinal centers of lymphoid follicles of the tonsil in a child. This should not be confused with a neoplastic process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Russell body gastritis is considered as a rare, benign, incidental finding characterized by dense accumulation of plasma cells containing Russell bodies in the lamina propria. In this study, clinical and histopathological features of 12 cases of Russell body gastritis/duodenitis were presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data, histopathological findings including Helicobacter pylori infection, Sydney system classification, Russell body density and immunohistochemical findings were evaluated in 11 gastric and 1 duodenal mucosal biopsy from 11 patients. RESULTS Six cases were male, 5 were female and the mean age was 72 (44-87). The most common site was antrum (10/12), one case was located in cardia and one in heterotopic gastric mucosa of duodenal bulb. H. pylori was detected in half of the cases. One of the cases was accompanied by gastric tubular adenoma, one by gastric well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and one by plasma cell neoplasm. In all cases, globules were positive with PAS stain. CONCLUSION Russell body gastritis must be kept in mind while reporting endoscopic biopsies because this entity may be misdiagnosed as signet ring carcinoma and may be associated with neoplasms. Absence of nuclear atypia, mucin stains, cytokeratins, plasma cell and hematolymphoid antigen markers are useful in differential diagnosis. Associated H. pylori infection, as well as rarely carcinomas, adenomas and plasma cell neoplasms, may be observed.

Abstract
Colorectal mucosa with Russell bodies is a reactive inflammatory lesion composed of mature plasma cells, known as Mott cells which contain multiple intracytoplasmic eosinophilic globules. To the best of our knowledge, 3 case reports of colorectal Russell body containing lesions have been reported in the English literature (searched from 1980 to date), including just one case report of Colonic Russell body inflammatory polyp. Their importance lies in being aware of this unusual entity, recognizing it as well as the clinical scenario in which this typically arises and differentiating it from its malignant mimics that come in the histologic differential. This review discusses the clinical and endoscopic presentation, histopathologic features, ancillary studies, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of this rare lesion.

Abstract
Russell body gastritis (RBG) is an unusual type of chronic gastritis characterized by marked infiltration of Mott cells, which are plasma cells filled with spherical eosinophilic bodies referred to as Russell bodies. It was initially thought that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection was a major cause of RBG and that the infiltrating Mott cells were polyphenotypic; however, a number of cases of RBG without H. pylori infection or with monoclonal Mott cells have been reported. Thus, diagnostic difficulty exists in distinguishing RBG with monoclonal Mott cells from malignant lymphoma. Here, we report an unusual case of an 86-year-old-Japanese man with H. pylori-positive RBG. During the examination of melena, endoscopic evaluation confirmed a 13-mm whitish, flat lesion in the gastric antrum. Magnification endoscopy with narrow-band imaging suggested that the lesion was most likely a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Biopsy findings were consistent with chronic gastritis with many Mott cells with intranuclear inclusions referred to as Dutcher bodies. Endoscopic submucosal dissection confirmed the diagnosis of RBG with kappa-restricted monoclonal Mott cells. Malignant lymphoma was unlikely given the paucity of cytological atypia and Ki-67 immunoreactivity of monoclonal Mott cells. This is the first reported case of RBG with endoscopic diagnosis of malignant tumor and the presence of Dutcher bodies.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. However, some rare gastric lesions exhibiting distinctive histological features may also be associated with H. pylori infection, including lymphocytic gastritis, granulomatous gastritis, Russell body gastritis, or crystal-storing histiocytosis. Although diverse factors can contribute to their development, there is convincing evidence that H. pylori infection may play a pathogenic role. These findings are mainly based on studies in patients with these lesions who exhibited clinical and histological improvements after H. pylori eradication therapy. Thus, H. pylori eradication therapy might be indicated in patients with no other underlying disease, particularly in countries with a high prevalence of H. pylori infection. This review describes the characteristic histological features of these rare lesions and evaluates the evidence regarding a causative role for H. pylori infection in their pathogenesis.

Abstract
Russell body gastroenteritis has been reported as a reactive inflammatory process in most cases and many of the reports were from the upper gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach, which may be associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and rarely associated with gastric carcinoma. Russell body containing Mott cells have been rarely seen in Barrett’s esophagus and duodenum, and only 2 cases have been reported in colon, including a transplant patient with diarrhea and a rectal tubulovillous adenoma. In this article, we report another localized form of Russell body containing Mott cells in colon as an inflammatory polyp without adenomatous change.

Abstract
The coexistent occurrence of a lymphoid neoplasm with adenocarcinoma of the stomach is rare. We report herein a case of gastroduodenal extramedullary plasmacytoma simultaneously complicated by multiple gastric Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–associated adenocarcinomas. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy to treat an adenocarcinoma occupying the gastric antrum. Histopathological examination revealed a massive submucosal plasma cell proliferation adjacent to the adenocarcinoma involving the pylorus to the duodenal bulb. Lambda immunoglobulin light chain restriction indicated that these plasma cells were monoclonal. Because the clinical investigation revealed no other lymphoid neoplasms, primary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the stomach was diagnosed. The histological examination of the resected stomach revealed 3 additional adenocarcinomas invading from the mucosa to the submucosa. A thorough histological examination of the remnant stomach resected 2 weeks after the first surgery revealed 2 additional adenocarcinomas in the remnant specimen, yielding a total of 6 carcinomas, all of which represented EBV-associated gastric carcinomas (EBV-GC). This is the second case report of gastric plasmacytoma concurrent with adenocarcinoma. Moreover, the plasmacytoma showed a conspicuous morphologic feature resembling Mott cells. Because Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection was also elucidated, this rare case may indicate a role of EBV or HP in carcinogenesis of both adenocarcinoma and lymphoplasmacytic neoplasms.

Abstract
Russell bodies represent a cellular response to overstimulation of plasma cells, leading to the accumulation of abundant, nondegradable, condensed immunoglobulin in dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Russell body gastritis was first described 1998 by Tazawa and Tsutsumi. Since then only 39 cases involving the gastrointestinal tract have been reported in English literature, which include Russell body gastritis, duodenitis, and esophagitis. We report a case of a 44-year-old female with a history of diabetes mellitus, status post kidney and pancreas transplant who presented with multiple episodes of watery diarrhea associated with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Upper gastroendoscopic examination showed diffuse mild erythema in the gastric body and a clean-based duodenal ulcer. Lower gastroendoscopic examination was normal. Examination of multiple biopsies from duodenal, gastric, terminal ileum, and colonic mucosae revealed numerous plasma cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm (Russell bodies) and eccentric nuclei, highlighted by PAS stain and CD 138 plasma cell marker. Helicobacter pylori stains were performed on gastric biopsies and were negative for organisms. To date, there are no cases described in English literature with multifocal Russell body infiltrates in gastrointestinal tract in a single patient including ileum and/or colon. This makes our case the first to be reported with these unique findings; thus, the spectrum of Russell body-associated chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract would be more suitably referred to as "Russell body gastroenterocolitis."

Abstract
Russell body esophago-gastro-duodenitis is an unusual form of chronic inflammation, with only 22 cases being reported in PubMed. However, the prevalence and clinical significance remain unknown. This report describes the clinico-pathological characteristics of nine cases of Russell body gastritis (RBG) and one case of Russell body duodentitis (RBD), with nonspecific endoscopic appearance. The Mott cells (plasma cells with Russell bodies) showed κ light chain restriction in eight gastritis cases and λ light chain restriction in the duodentitis case, and there were no histological features that suggested lymphoma. Thus, a diagnosis of monoclonal RBG/RBD was made. Helicobacter pylori infection was found in 55.6% of RBG cases and in the RBD case. And, the clinical follow-up evaluations were uneventful. This report is the first study to describe this benign disease entity with monoclonality on a large-scale basis. In addition, the monoclonality of Mott cells cannot be used as evidence of an existing neoplastic lesion, and taken together, these findings may indicate a reactive process.

Reduction of immunity in HIV-infected individuals: can fibrosis induce hypoplasia in palatine and lingual tonsils of individuals with HIV infection? Pathol Res Pract 2014; 211:27-35.

Abstract
The role of tonsils in oral immunity has been described. However, the pathogenesis of HIV infection in these organs is still unclear. The aim of this study is to perform histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the palatine and lingual tonsils of autopsied individuals with or without HIV infection. Twenty-six autopsied individuals with HIV infection (HI) (n=13) and without HIV infection (CO) (n=13) were selected. Palatine and lingual tonsil fragments were collected for histological and immunohistochemical analysis. We found in the HI group a higher frequency of hyaline degeneration in both palatine and lingual tonsils; smaller follicle areas, and a higher percentage of collagen in comparison with the CO group. In the HI group, there was higher density of blood vessels in palatine tonsils than in the CO group. In the HI group, there were significant positive correlations between palatine and lingual tonsils and the area of lymphoid follicles, and between the percentage of blood vessels and collagen in palatine tonsils. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between the percentage of collagen and lymphoid follicle area in both palatine and lingual tonsils in the HI group. These findings suggest that the immune functions of these tonsils are prejudiced by fibrosis. Therapies to reduce the neoformation of collagen are required to improve immune function of organs against pathogens.

Abstract
Russell body gastritis (RBG) is a rare entity with unestablished pathophysiology, endoscopic findings, clinical manifestations and treatments. Literature is scarce on this clinical entity with unclear clinical significance. Of 18 cases reported, 12 tested (+) for Helicobacter pylori and improved with treatment, but it remains unclear whether this link is coincidental or bears some clinical significance. We describe a case of elderly woman who had a follow-up oesophagogastroduodenoscopy for chronic peptic ulcers, and biopsy showed positive immunohistochemical stains for κ and λ, indicating a polytypic population of plasma cells. Immunostaining for H pylori was negative. Biopsies were also (-) for gastric carcinoma, lymphoma and plasmacytoma. Considering her RGB-suggestive histology and her symptoms of bone pains and anaemia, multiple myeloma screening was considered clinically relevant. The purpose of this review was to educate clinicians and gastroenterologists about this unique entity and explore its association with multiple myeloma or other plamacytic malignancies.

Abstract
Objective. Helicobacter pylori provokes a host of immune alterations upon colonizing the gastric mucosa. Design. We report 22 individuals with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection who were also managed for the concurrent elevation of immunoglobulin free light chain (kappa and lambda) levels. Result. Of the 22 patients, 15 patients (68.2%) had elevated free light chain levels: 6 patients (40%) had only kappa chain elevation, 2 patients (13.3%) had only lambda chain elevation, and 7 patients (46.7%) had both kappa and lambda chain elevation. Twenty out of the 22 patients (90.9%) were microbiologically confirmed cured with 3 patients being lost to follow-up for repeat levels. Of the 3 patients who were lost to follow-up, 1 patient had only kappa chain elevation, 1 patient had only lambda chain elevation, and 1 patient had both kappa and lambda chain elevation. For those who were cured (19 patients), 5 patients with kappa elevation had normalized values, 4 patients with lambda elevation had normalized values, and 2 patients with combined kappa and lambda elevation had normalized values. For 6 out of the 19 patients, the light chain levels remained elevated. Conclusion. We speculate that the Helicobacter pylori infection disrupts the immunoglobulin system with potential implications being discussed below.

Abstract
First described in 1998, Russell body gastritis is a rare chronic inflammatory condition characterized by abundant intramucosal polyclonal plasma cells, which contain intracytoplasmic eosinophilic globules of immunoglobulins (Russell bodies) that displace the nucleus, with an accompanying chronic inflammatory infiltrate. Russell bodies represent a cellular response to overstimulation of plasma cells, leading to the accumulation of abundant, nondegradable, condensed immunoglobulin in dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Russell body gastritis usually occurs in the gastric antrum, but two cases of Russell body duodenitis have been recently described. Herein, we report an unusual case of Barrett esophagus with prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and Russell bodies, which expands the current spectrum of Russell body gastritis/duodenitis. Given the various anatomic locations in which Russell body gastritis may arise, we suggest that “Russell body gastroenteritis” may be a more appropriate designation for this uncommon reactive condition.

Abstract
Russell bodies are globular and eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm of mature plasma cells. Plasma cells whose cytoplasm is filled with Russell bodies are designated as Mott cells. Russell body duodenitis (RBD) is a unique form of chronic duodenitis that is characterized by infiltration of numerous Mott cells. RBD is very rare; only two cases have been reported to date. In this paper, we report a case of RBD in a patient with retroperitoneal metastasis of ureteral cancer. A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of appetite loss, vomiting, and upper abdominal distension. He had undergone left nephroureterectomy for ureteral cancer 4 years earlier. Upper digestive tract endoscopy revealed edema, stenosis, and punctate redness of the mucosa of the duodenum, and a biopsy was performed. Histological analysis showed that numerous Mott cells had infiltrated the lamina propria mucosae, and the condition was diagnosed as RBD. A mass lesion in the retroperitoneum adjacent to the duodenum was detected by abdominal computed tomography, and was diagnosed as metastatic urothelial carcinoma by biopsy. It is possible that chemokines produced by tumor cells caused RBD in this case.

Abstract
Russell body gastritis was first defined in 1998, but not many cases have been reported since then. The exact causes and process of this condition are unknown yet; however, considering the reported cases, it has been highly suggested to have correlation with Helicobacter pylori infection. Russell body gastritis has a non-specific clinical presentation of gastritis such as gastric mucosal edema in the macroscopic view. It can be mistaken as xanthoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, or a malignant lymphoma including mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and plasmocytoma. Russell body gastritis features polyclonal immunoglobulin and is differentiated from Mott cancer, of which immune globulin has monoclonal aspect. Authors report here two cases of Russell body gastritis with examined endoscopic findings as well as a review of related literature on the association of all reported cases of Russell body gastritis with H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Russell bodies are pink eosinophilic accumulations within plasma cells. To date, two hypotheses have attempted to elucidate the biological events behind the formation of these bodies. One theory sustains that such bodies constitute cytoplasmic accumulation of immunoglobulin derivatives contained in the perinuclear cistern of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum because of an increased synthesis or altered secretion. On the other hand, since its initial description in the medical literature, several authors have attributed the formation of such bodies to the presence of microorganisms such as in the case of Russell body gastritis and its association to Helicobacter pylori infection. In an attempt to possibly characterize the presence of an infectious organism, we performed a thorough biomolecular analysis on a case of a 69-year-old female presenting with Russell body duodenitis which, to the best of our knowledge, constitutes the second report of this clinical entity in the English literature. In light that the events behind formation of such bodies in H. pylori-negative individuals remain unclear, we hypothesize on the possible pathways that could have led to their reactive mechanical and immune derivation.

Abstract
A 71-year-old Japanese male patient infected with HCV was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia. Histological examination of the bone marrow aspirate showed numerous lymphoid aggregates with Russell bodies. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometric analysis demonstrated clonal expansion of CD5+ CD23+ B cells. Russell bodies were positive for IgM and lambda immunoglobulin light chain. The patient also underwent gastric biopsy, which revealed Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. Subsequent eradication of the bacteria resulted in improvement of his thrombocytopenia. The clinical course remained uneventful at 15-month follow-up, consistent with monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis. The observed clonal expansion with plasmacytic differentiation may have occurred under the influence of HCV with HP infection.

Abstract
Russell body gastritis is an unusual form of chronic gastritis characterized by the permeation of lamina propria by numerous plasma cells with eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions. Very few cases have been reported in the literature; the majority of which have shown Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) infection, thus suggesting a correlation between plasma cell presence and antigenic stimulation by H. pylori. We present a case of Russell body gastritis in a 78-year-old woman who was undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy for epigastric pain. Gastric biopsy of the gastroesophageal junction showed the presence of cells with periodic acid-Schiff-positive hyaline pink bodies. Giemsa staining for H. pylori infection was negative, as well as immunohistochemical detection. The cells with eosinophilic inclusions stained positive for CD138, CD79a, and κ and lambda light chains, which confirmed plasma cell origin. In particular, κ and lambda light chains showed a polyclonal origin and the patient was negative for immunological dyscrasia. The histological observations were confirmed by ultrastructural examination. The cases reported in the literature associated with H. pylori infection have shown regression of plasma cells after eradication of H. pylori. Nothing is known about the progression of H. pylori-negative cases. The unusual morphological appearance of this type of chronic gastritis should not be misinterpreted during routine examination, and it should be distinguished from other common forms of chronic gastritis. It is mandatory to exclude neoplastic diseases such as gastric carcinoma, lymphoma and plasmocytoma by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, which can help with differential diagnosis. The long-term effects of plasma cells hyperactivation are still unknown, because cases of gastric tumor that originated in patients affected by Russell body gastritis have not been described in the literature. We are of the opinion that these patients should be scheduled for endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
The development of modern endoscopic techniques, easier and greater access to healthcare, and interest in Helicobacter pylori infection and its implications have all led to a significant increase in upper endoscopies. In turn, gastroenterologists and pathologists have been recognizing an ever-increasing number of patterns of mucosal injury. Consequently, there is now an interest in a wider aspect of non-neoplastic gastric pathology, namely, non-HP (H. pylori) gastritis. In this review, we present major clinico-pathological entities, based on either the salient morphological features or the underlying etiologies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The presence of eosinophilic bodies in a skin biopsy can be found in a variety of situations and this may present a challenge to the pathologist. The differential diagnosis of these eosinophilic structures include microorganisms such as histoplasmosis or cryptococcosis, fungi, Michaelis-Gutmann bodies, deposits of amyloid or immunoglobulins, colloid bodies or elastic bodies. CASE PRESENTATION During a routine examination of a skin biopsy with actinic keratosis taken from the cheek of a 61-year-old man, clusters of eosinophilic bodies were seen within an inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis, both intracytoplasmic and extracellular. Using additional immunohistochemical staining, these structures were identified as polyclonal Russell bodies. CONCLUSION The differential diagnosis of intracytoplasmic eosinophilic structures in a skin biopsy includes Russell bodies, an uncommon finding that may be associated with chronic inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
A gastric lymphoid tumor with involvement of regional lymph nodes and spleen was diagnosed in an 8-year-old crossbreed male dog with a 6-month history of gastrointestinal disease. Despite surgical excision and palliative therapy (prednisolone and cimetidine), the dog was euthanized due to worsening of clinical signs. At necropsy, multiple white, solid, nodular, infiltrative masses were observed in the stomach, duodenum, spleen, liver, and lungs in association with generalized lymph node enlargement. Cytology, histology, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy revealed that the neoplastic cell population was composed of B lymphocytes that contained variable amounts of round periodic acid-Schiff-positive cytoplasmic globules consistent with Russell bodies. The tumor most likely represented a variant of B-cell neoplasia with extensive Mott cell differentiation.

Abstract
The proliferation of Mott cells (plasma cells with multiple Russell bodies) is rarely observed in nonhematopoietic tumors, and no reports of this phenomenon in malignant epithelial neoplasms have been published. We present 2 cases of gastric carcinoma associated with prominent Mott cell proliferation. Histologically, both tumors consisted of extensive lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and numerous Mott cells with dysplastic epithelial cells. The epithelial cells showed overt cytologic atypia; infiltrating cells did not show cytologic atypia, immunoglobulin light chain restriction, or clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER) labeled the carcinoma cells but not the lymphoplasmacytic cells. The Mott cell accumulation was a reactive phenomenon in gastric carcinoma associated with EBV. The differential diagnosis included primary gastric lymphoma and nonneoplastic conditions such as Russell body gastritis; EBER in situ hybridization was helpful in their differentiation.

Abstract
Russell bodies (RBs) changes in chronic apical lesions have rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a case of a periapical lesion abundantly and extensively composed of RB. Microscopic examination showed accumulation of plasma cells containing globular, spherical, polygonal, and eosinophilic structures against fibrous connective tissue. Initial diagnostic considerations based on a smaller magnification included hypersecretory plasmocytoma, although there was no evidence of infiltrative growth, mitotic activity, nuclear atypia, or cellular pleomorphism. Then, a panel of immunohistochemical markers was applied and the cells showed positivity with both kappa and lambda chains demonstrating their polyclonal origin. The extensive accumulation of RBs involving the periapical region represents an unreported and significant histologic change, as it was mimicking a malignant neoplasm.
