Cutaneous involvement in relapsed multiple myeloma

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Sep 5;10(9):e6282. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6282. eCollection 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Cutaneous involvement in multiple myeloma with extramedullary disease is rare. We report the case of a refractory multiple myeloma patient who developed a cutaneous lesion. Histopathology revealed dermal immature plasma cell infiltrate with a lack of CD138 expression. This cutaneous location was associated with an aggressive clinical course and short survival.

Keywords: cutaneous involvement; extramedullary disease; immature plasma cells; multiple myeloma.
