Clinical Study of Plasma Cell Leukemia
The plasma cell leukemia is a very rare form of plasma cell dyscrasia. We had experienced 4 cases (2.9%) of PCL among the 136 cases of plasma cell dyscrasia during
the last 16 years from 1974 to 1989 in Yonsei University Severance Hospital.
In our cases, 3 cases were primary PCL and the other 1 case was secondary PCL. In two cases, IgG kappa type of paraprotein was documented. The chemotherapy with
cytoxan, vincristine, prednisolone was effective in 2(67%) cases out of 3 cases treated. The longest duration of survival was noted in primary PCL, and the duration of
survival were 4, 5, 14 months respectively.
The recognition of possibility of PCL and appropriate therapeutic strategies might improve the survival and quality of life. The prospective multicenter study is required for the better understanding of the biology of PCL and the more rational therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The plasma cell leukemia is a very rare form of plasma cell dyscrasia. We had experienced 4 cases (2.9%) of PCL among the 136 cases of plasma cell dyscrasia during
the last 16 years from 1974 to 1989 in Yonsei University Severance Hospital.
In our cases, 3 cases were primary PCL and the other 1 case was secondary PCL. In two cases, IgG kappa type of paraprotein was documented. The chemotherapy with

survival were 4, 5, 14 months respectively.
The recognition of possibility of PCL and appropriate therapeutic strategies might improve the survival and quality of life. The prospective multicenter study is required for the better understanding of the biology of PCL and the more rational therapeutic approaches.
