Abstract
We encountered a case of plasmablastic extramedullary plasmacytoma with multiple myeloma. Histological findings revealed that the extramedullary plasmacytoma of this patient was of the plasmablastic type, which was positive for λ-stain and EBV-encoded RNA. In contrast, bone marrow aspiration demonstrated a common-type multiple myeloma, which was positive for λ-stain and negative for EBV-encoded RNA. This was a rare case of plasmablastic extramedullary plasmacytoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus arising in an immunocompetent patient with multiple myeloma.
