Abstract

Differentiating plasmablastic lymphoma and plasmablastic myeloma is challenging due to overlapping morphological and immunophenotypical features. This case demonstrates the difficulty to distinguish a non-secretor myeloma with plasmablastic morphology from a plasmablastic lymphoma and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to make an accurate diagnosis because the treatment protocols are different.
