Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell neoplasm.
  • Plasmacytic leukemia is an aggressive manifestation of plasma cell myeloma.
  • IgD-lambda subtype is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old woman presented with symptoms initially suggestive of chronic lymphatic leukemia.
  • Marked leukocytosis with significant peripheral blood plasmacytic cells aided diagnosis.
  • Diagnostic confirmation involved bone marrow biopsy, cytochemistry, immunochemistry, and skeletal imaging.

Findings:

  • The patient's plasmacytoma IgD-lambda transformed into plasmacytic leukemia.
  • Treatment resulted in temporary clinical and laboratory remission.
  • Post-mortem examination revealed widespread organ infiltration and a myelomatous kidney.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering plasmacytic leukemia in differential diagnoses of leukemic presentations.
  • Diagnostic challenges associated with rare plasma cell neoplasms are highlighted.
  • Understanding rare subtypes like IgD-lambda plasmacytoma is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
