abstract: plasma cellmyeloma constitutes about 10% of all  hematologicmalignancies. metastatic cutaneous lesions without underlying bony involvement are rare and associated with advanced disease, poor prognosis and high tumor burden. igg is the most common subtype and igd is believed to have a more aggressive course.######

tumor necrosis factor- α (tnf-α) plays an important role in diverse cellular events such as septic shock, induction of other cytokines, cell proliferation and apoptosis. tumor necrosis factor (tnf)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (trail) is currently attracting great interest as a potential anticancer drug. trail could selectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells in vitro and in vivo by a deat...
