Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 48
Abstract
Plasma cell leukaemia is a rare and aggressive variant of plasma cell myeloma having poor outcome. Some improvements in outcome have been made in recent years with newer therapies and stem cell transplantation. Plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) can be primary which arises de novo or evolves as a late feature in the course of plasma cell myeloma (secondary plasma cell leukaemia).
