    A rare case of primary plasma cell leukaemia, a type of blood cancer, showed high plasma cell counts and organ failure. Treatment with the M2 chemotherapy protocol resulted in a survival of 33 months.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Primary plasma cell leukaemia (PPCL) is an aggressive plasma cell dyscrasia.
    • It is characterized by a high number of plasma cells in peripheral blood and bone marrow.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of PPCL presented with significant cardiac and renal failure.
    • Leukaemic plasma cell morphology varied from lymphoplasmacytic to fully differentiated forms.
    • Bence-Jones protein Lambda Chain was detected in both urine and serum.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited a high burden of plasma cells in peripheral blood and bone marrow.
    • Few osteolytic bone lesions were noted.
    • The M2 chemotherapy protocol was administered for treatment.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case highlights the varied morphology and aggressive nature of PPCL.
    • Effective management of organ dysfunction is crucial in PPCL treatment.
    • The M2 protocol demonstrated a potential for prolonged survival in this rare condition.
