ABSTRACT
The advance in the knowledge of the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma has allowed the
approach to the understanding of its heterogeneity in terms of clinical, cytomorphological, phenotypic,
biochemical, genetic and molecular behavior, contributing to the development of new treatments and
the establishment of models that point to a chronicity of the disease. The morphological changes of the
plasma cell in the multiple myeloma indicate mainly to alterations at the nucleus level, which orient to
the differentiation between reactive cells and clonal cells; also that their immaturity is of poor prognosis.
Likewise, the expression of certain monoclonal markers, and the absence of others, detected by
flow cytometry, immunophenotypically classify the neoplastic cells of multiple myeloma, which allows to
considering this tool as one of the best in the diagnosis and management of minimal residual disease. In
this review it is intend to emphasize the importance of identifying the morphological change that occur
in plasma cells and their relationship with the immunophenotypics characteristics in neoplasia that have
an important prognostic association with the multiple myeloma development.
