“…To the best of our knowledge, few case reports have been described in the literature with synchronous diagnosis of multiple myeloma and breast cancer. Cao et al reported a case of breast tumor where infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast and breast plasmacytoma occurred which was coexistent in the breast tumor on initial presentation and the patient got successfully treated with chemotherapy for breast cancer and radiotherapy for plasmacytoma [ 16 ]. Khalbuss et al reported a case of synchronous diagnosis of multiple myeloma and breast cancer with plasmacytoid morphology on initial presentation [ 17 ].…”

In contrast, there is increasing evidence that clonal B cells reacting to tumor‐derived antigens proliferate in the cancer stroma.…”
