The present case is one of the few cases of plasma cell rich inflammation of the cervix, and is probably the first being reported in an HIV positive female. A 34-year-old female, P2L2 with last child birth 8 years back visited gynecology OPD with complaints of copious vaginal discharge from last 1 year. The discharge was yellowish in color, non-foul smelling, watery in consistency and present all through the menstrual cycle. On per speculum examination, the cervix looked unhealthy and bleeding on contact was present. The Pap Smear was suggestive of a high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion (HSIL). Biopsy revealed intense plasma cell-rich inflammation in the subepithelial stroma with Russel bodies. A summary of all reported cases of Russel cell cervicitis, reported till date and key points to differentiate it from other plasma cell rich cervical lesions like malakoplakia and plasmacytoma are also presented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_255_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,4]],"date-time":"2024-04-04T15:00:32Z","timestamp":1712242832000},"page":"48-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Russell Body Cervicitis in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-positive Female: An Unusual Presentation of Prolonged Cervical Inflammation"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mishu","family":"Mangla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sumitra","family":"Sivakoti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seetu","family":"Palo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naina","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240906","first-page":"372","article-title":"Plasma cell disorders in HIV-infected patients: From benign gammopathy to multiple myeloma","volume":"14","author":"Dezube","year":"2004","journal-title":"AIDS Read"},{"key":"R2-20240906","first-page":"R03","article-title":"Plasma cell disorders in HIV infected patients: A case series","volume":"11","author":"Anuradha","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"R3-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1186\/2050-7771-1-8","article-title":"Plasma cell disorders in HIV-infected patients: Epidemiology and molecular mechanisms","volume":"1","author":"Coker","year":"2013","journal-title":"Biomark Res"},{"key":"R4-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1027656","article-title":"Russell body gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in an HIV-positive patient: Case report and review of the literature","volume":"47","author":"Licci","year":"2009","journal-title":"Z Gastroenterol"},{"key":"R5-20240906","first-page":"261","article-title":"Russell body gastritis in an HIV positive patient: Case report and review of literature","volume":"76","author":"Bhalla","year":"2012","journal-title":"Conn Med"},{"key":"R6-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"497","DOI":"10.18203\/2320-1770.ijrcog20230145","article-title":"Russell body cervicitis presenting as endocervical polyp: A case report","volume":"12","author":"Sharma","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R7-20240906","first-page":"5989105","article-title":"Optimization of classification strategies of acetowhite temporal patterns towards improving diagnostic performance of colposcopy","author":"Guti\u00e9rrez-Fragoso","year":"2017","journal-title":"Comput Math Methods Med 2017"},{"key":"R8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"380","DOI":"10.1089\/gyn.2014.0070","article-title":"An extreme case of chronic cervicitis mimicking cervical cancer and causing third-degree prolapse","volume":"30","author":"Singh","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Gynecol Surg"},{"key":"R9-20240906","first-page":"225","article-title":"Russell body cervicitis: A case report and literature review","volume":"7","author":"Altun","year":"2017","journal-title":"Med Sci"},{"key":"R10-20240906","first-page":"05","article-title":"Plasma cell-rich chronic cervicitis.
