[Acute plasma-cell leukemia. Report of a case].
A case of fatal, diffused plasmacytoma is presented. The picture also included leukaemia and is felt to be an example of plasma-cell leukaemia, as opposed to plasmacytoma in the light of the anatomical and clinical features of the onset and course: high and very pronounced plasma-cell leukocytosis, diffuse proliferation of the plasma cell series in the bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes, infiltration of plasma cells in the parenchymal organs, extremely rapid progress with serious anaemia, haemorrhage, general organic involvement, high fever, and infection.
