Multiple cutaneous plasmacytomas following an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant.
We describe the unusual development of multiple cutaneous plasmacytomas following treatment of IgA lambda myeloma with myeloablative therapy and a peripheral blood stem cell autograft. Cutaneous metastatic spread was evident despite bone marrow remission. Treatment with an autograft may have contributed to the cutaneous relapse.
