The BMB confirmed my MGUS diagnosis, for which I am grateful.
Before I go into internet search h@ll
Can someone help me understand some statements here?1) "The erythroid elements show mild megaloblastoid."
2) "The myleomonocytic elements show mild shift toward immaturity."
3) "There are increased plasma cells, mainly scattered singly in an interstitial distribution"
Note: The comments state "Abnormal plasma cells comprise 5-10% of the cellularity." However in the detailed analysis it states, "Bone marrow differential ... Plasma cells: 2.0%".
4) "A Prussian blue-stained aspirate smear demonstrates absent storage iron and decreased but present sideroblastic iron."
The only thing besides the MGUS diagnosis I didn't know is that I should probably take iron supplement because of absent iron stores.
Your input would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
