Abstract
TO THE EDITOR:
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL), an aggressive form of MM, is defined by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) as the presence of ≥5% circulating plasma cells (CPCs) in the peripheral blood [1]. Moreover, PCL cases are frequently enriched in the translocation t(11;14), which presents with a lympho-plasmacytoid morphology, complicating detection through standard morphological examination [2].
