Multiple cutaneous plasmacytomas following an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant

Clin Exp Dermatol. 2002 Jun;27(4):293-5. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2230.2002.01039.x.

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.
