Russell bodies

Russell bodies are eosinophilic, large, homogenous immunoglobulin-containing inclusions usually found in a plasma cell undergoing excessive synthesis of immunoglobulin; the russell body is characteristic of the distended Endoplasmic Reticulum.

This is one cell variation found in Multiple Myeloma.

They are named for William Russell. [WhoNamedIt|synd|1962] [W. Russell. An address on a characteristic organism of cancer. British Medical Journal, London, 1890, 2: 1356-1360.]
