IgG-lambda secreting B-lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with disseminated cutaneous infiltration: report of a rare case.
We present an 85-year-old female with IgG-lambda lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) with disseminated cutaneous infiltration during disease progression, 9 months after initial diagnosis. The patient was voluntarily undertreated, therefore the disease progressed with vast cutaneous involvement. The patient died from severe sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation due to acute respiratory bacterial infection, before receiving any kind of treatment.
