Primary cutaneous plasmacytosis: Masquerading as hidradenitis suppurativa

Abstract: Isolated cutaneous plasmacytosis (CP) is a rare entity with few cases reported in world literature. CP masquerading as hidradenitis suppurativa like presentation is a unique case with some features differentiating it clinically from it which were further confirmed by histopathology and immunostaining. Our case showed hyperplasia of mature plasma cells and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, immunostaining for CD138 positivity and kappa: lambda ratio more than 3:1. Extensive clinical and laboratory investigation… Show more

“…They commonly involve the trunk and extremities, and less frequently, the face and scalp. 3 Systemic involvement is rare, but extracutaneous involvement in cutaneous plasmacytosis has been documented, including hypergammaglobulinemia (up to 93%), lymphadenopathy (up to 58%), and involvement of the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. [4][5][6] The exact etiology of cutaneous plasmacytosis remains unknown.…”
