A case of an unusual lymphomatous disease associated with lymphoplasmocytoid cells containing intracytoplasmic crystals is presented. These crystals
are considered to be the secretory product of these cells. They are discussed
in the light of recent studies on the secretory activity of plasmocytes and
related cells.
A specific diagnosis of the patient's disease is not made although the main
cell type present closely resembles that occurring in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.
