Transient Plasmacytosis With Trisomy of Chromosome 8 in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 96-year-old woman with a 5-year history of multiple myeloma was admitted to our hospital because of increasing fatigue and fever. Bone marrow plasma cell analysis showed t(11;14), del(13q), and del(17p13). Her condition deteriorated, and she developed plasmacytosis resembling plasma cell leukemia. Chromosome analysis showed trisomy of chromosome 8 in the circulating plasma cells. The plasmacytosis resolved spontaneously without chemotherapy after about 5 weeks, and the trisomy became undetectable. The findings suggest that trisomy 8 might have contributed to the transient plasmacytosis, and that chromosome 8 carries genes associated with plasma cell proliferation, maturation, and apoptosis.
