ABSTRACT
Cutaneous extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare in patients with multiple myeloma, they usually indicate a large tumor cell burden and fatal outcome. A 55-year-old man presented with multiple cutaneous tender nodules or masses on whole body. A biopsy specimen of cutaneous nodule showed dermal infiltration by well differentiated plasma cells. Many atypical and immature plasma cells were found in a bone marrow smear and biopsy. A serum protein electrophoresis revealed elevated quantities of Ig G-globulin with type lambda light chain. The patient was treated with VAD(vincristine, adriamycin, dexamethasone) chemotherapy, but died with pulmonary edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We report a fatal case of multiple myeloma first presenting as multiple extramedullary cutaneous plasmacytomas.
