ABSTRACT: Plasma
cell leukemia is a rare malignant hemopathy, characterized by a peripheral
plasma cell proliferation of more than 20% of the leukocyte formula. A few rare
cases have been described. From which we report a case of plasma cell leukemia
in a 52-year-old Nigerien subject initially in a coma, whose anemia led to the
diagnosis in the Onco-Hematology department of the National Hospital of Niamey
and the evolution was marked by clinical and biological remission after 3 cures
of CTD, but died in an infectious picture after 6 cures.
