Abstract:
Cutaneous plasmacytosis is characterized by multiple red-brown plaques, mainly on the trunk, that histologically show marked hyperplasia of mature plasma cells with no apparent underlying disease that could cause secondary infiltration by plasma cells. Although well recognized in Japan, this disorder is rare in Korea. We report a case of cutaneous plasmacytosis in a 24-year-old man.
