Cutaneous plasmacytosis: a case report and review of pulmonary findings

Primary cutaneous plasmacytosis is an uncommon cutaneous disorder with multiple cutaneous nodules and plaques mainly on face and trunk. This entity is thought to be a reactive process with unknown etiology. Pulmonary involvement could be found as a part of systemic plasmacytosis whereas cutaneous plasmacytosis was also reported with other pulmonary disorders. This report presents the case of cutaneous plasmacytosis and the review of pulmonary findings reported in plasmacytosis.
