Plasma cell tumour in a renal transplant recipient.
We report the occurrence of a plasma cell tumour in an immunosuppressed renal allograft recipient. The lesion showed polyclonal proliferation of plasma cells with equal staining for kappa and lambda chains. Purely cutaneous plasma cell tumours are uncommon, few cases having been reported in immunosuppressed patients.
