Abstract:
We describe the unusual development of multiple cutaneous plasmacytomas following treatment of IgA lambda myeloma with myeloablative therapy and a peripheral blood stem cell autograft. Cutaneous metastatic spread was evident despite bone marrow remission. Treatment with an autograft may have contributed to the cutaneous relapse.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.

Tissue Transplantation
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
