Plasma cell leukemia is a rare form of malignant plasma cell dyscrasia. It can occur as a primary form without prior evidence of multiple myeloma or as a secondary form which is a terminal event in multiple myeloma. A case of primary plasma cell leukemia presenting as acute renal failure is reported here.

The causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy are numerous, of which neoplastic infiltration is also known. Plasma cell leukemia is considered as the, most severe form of multiple myeloma, is an extremely rare condition. Among them, primary plasma cell leukemia has got an incidence of one in one million only. We report a case summary of a patient who was admitted with clinical features suggestive of restrictive cardiomyopathy, the underlying disorder was primary plasma cell leukemia. With chemotherapy the restrictive physiology was relieved supporting the diagnosis of plasma cell infiltration in the myocardium. We report this case due to rarity of the disease itself and its rare presentation.
