Cutaneous Plasmacytosis with Perineural Involvement

Abstract: Importance. Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis are rare conditions of unknown etiology with characteristic red-brown skin lesions and a mature polyclonal plasma cell infiltrate within the dermis. Perineural plasma cell infiltrates may be a histologic clue to the diagnosis of cutaneous plasmacytosis. Observations. Our patient had a five-year history of persistent reddish-brown plaques on the neck and trunk without systemic symptoms. Histologic examination showed dermal perivascular and perineural plasma cells… Show more

“…These plasma cells are typically polyclonal and exhibit little to no atypia [ 1 , 15 ]. Perineural involvement, and even infiltration of the nerve fascicles, is common [ 16 ]. The epidermis is often acanthotic with basal layer hyperpigmentation [ 1 , 3 ].…”
