plasma cell leukemia, cytogenetics, bortezomib, transplantation, myeloma, prognosisPlasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive variant of myeloma characterized by the presence of circulating plasma cells. It is classified as either primary PCL occurring at diagnosis or as secondary PCL in ...
Condition:Plasma Cell Leukemia Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is an aggressive form of multiple myeloma characterized by high levels of abnormal plasma cells circulating in the peripheral (circulating) blood. Normal plasma cells in the bone marrow produce antibodies that fight infection. ...

Plasma cell leukemia: Typically aggressive with short survival < 1 year > 2 x 109/L or 20% of the leukocyte count on differential are monoclonal plasma cells Primary plasma cell leukemia (0.6% of myeloma) or develop as a late stage transformation (secondary) (Curr Oncol Rep 2019;21:8) Us...
cells areCD19+andCD20−. Abnormal plasma cells are CD19−and CD20−. These cells are typically also CD56+. Up to 20% of cases of neoplasticplasma cell neoplasmsareCD117+. If neoplastic plasma cells are negative for CD56, CD27, or CD45, it is thought to impart a worse prognosis....
Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive plasma cell proliferative disorder with a very poor prognosis and with distinct biologic, clinical, and laboratory features. Compared with multiple myeloma, pPCL presents more often with extramedullary involvement, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hype...

Leukemia (leukapheresis) (for acute debulking only) including mantle cell lymphoma (mantle cell leukemia) if white blood cells count is greater than 100,000/µL; or Myasthenia gravis, in persons with any of the following: Acute, short-term benefit is critical because of a sudden worsening of...
The current definition of plasma cell leukemia (PCL)— ≥ 20% circulating plasma cells (CPCs) on peripheral smear and plasma cell count ≥ 2 × 109/L—may be too stringent. We reviewed outcomes of 176 multiple myeloma (MM) patients diag
Plasma Cell Leukemia Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive MRD characterized by the presence of circulating plasma cells (see Table 55-2). Note that nonneoplastic conditions, such as severe sepsis, can occasionally result in transient elevations of circulating plasma cells.147 The...
