Abstract:
Two patients with multiple myeloma and in vivo macroscopic nodular lesions of the liver are presented. The clinical aspects of this very unusual condition are briefly reviewed. In particular, the expression on neoplastic plasma cells of the cytoadhesion molecules CD56 and CD11a, which are involved in the cellular process of recirculation and homing, suggests a possible role for such markers in this atypical localization of the disease.
