Amounts and types of immunoglobulin (Ig) monomers can vary in different stages of B-cell maturation. Igs are expressed in the cytoplasm (early stage of maturation, plasma cells) or membrane (B-cells in the mantle zone). Neoplasms such as B-cell lymphoma and plasma cell myeloma may be demonstrated to be clonal when they produce only one type of Ig light chain.
Strong cytoplasmic and membraneous staining for lambda light chain is seen in a subset of plasma cells in this germinal center. Light background staining is also seen due to extracellular immunoglobulin deposition.
Moderately strong cytoplasmic lambda light chain expression is detected in this case of CLL/SLL.
