From the archives of MD Anderson Cancer Center: Crystal-storing histiocytosis associated with B-cell lymphoma.
Understanding crystal-storing histiocytosis differential diagnosis refines clinical interpretation of rare pathologic findings.
Crystal-storing histiocytosis (CSH) is rare morphologic manifestation of disease histologically characterized by benign histiocytes, usually numerous, filled with cytoplasmic eosinophilic crystals. We review the literature on CSH associated with immunoglobulin crystals and discuss the differential diagnosis.
