    Summary

    A 44-year-old woman developed a painless skin tumor due to multiple myeloma. The condition progressed to multiple, similar cutaneous nodules, with survival lasting five months.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Cutaneous involvement in multiple myeloma is rare.
    • This case highlights an unusual presentation of plasma cell infiltration in the skin.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old female presented with a painless tumor on her malar region.
    • Microscopic examination revealed plasma cell infiltration of the skin.
    • The patient experienced the appearance of multiple, progressive cutaneous nodules.

    Findings:

    • The cutaneous lesions were histologically consistent with plasma cell infiltration.
    • The patient's survival from diagnosis was limited to 5 months.
    • Progressive development of similar nodules indicated widespread disease.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering cutaneous manifestations in multiple myeloma.
    • Early recognition of skin lesions may aid in diagnosis and management.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of cutaneous plasma cell infiltration is warranted.
