Localized Relapse of Primary Plasma Cell Leukaemia in the Central Nervous System

Localized Relapse of Primary Plasma Cell Leukaemia in the Central Nervous System

Primary plasma cell leukaemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive form of plasma cell malignancies with a very poor prognosis. Compared to other plasma cell malignancies the tendency to extramedullary spread is increased; however central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare and only reported in few...
