Item Congenital Leukemia (ALL-L2).(2004-07-22) Das, Bidyut Prava; Rath, Jayashree; Mohanty, Pranati; Chakrabarty, SukumarItem Plasma cell leukemia masquerading as ALL-L3--a case report.(2005-04-09) Tripathy, Kalpalata; Gouda, Kalyani Prava; Chakrabarty, Sukumar; Das, Ajit Kumar; Mohanty, RaghumaniPlasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare type of plasma cell dyscrasia. It is diagnosed when circulating plasma cells (PC) are more than 20%. We present a case of PCL in a 62-year-old female. Peripheral smear revealed more than 80% atypical vacuolated plasma cells (Mott cells) almost mimicking Burkitt cells of Acute Lymphoid Leukemia-L3 (ALL-L3). Bone marrow aspirate revealed few mature myeloma cells for which a diagnosis of PCL was thought of. Serum electrophoresis showed a positive M-band and X-ray revealed lytic lesions over femur & pelvic bones. A final diagnosis of PCL was given.
