title: Systemic plasmacytosis: a case which improved with melphalan.
abstract: Plasmacytosis, a distinctive proliferative disorder of plasma cells, is characterized by peculiar multiple skin eruptions, lymphadenopathy and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. To date there has been no report of such cases showing remarkable responses to therapeutic agents. We herein report a case of plasmacytosis which developed in a 52-year-old Korean man and showed remarkable improvement with melphalan.
