We report a patient with systemic plasmacytosis with polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinemia who at presentation showed a blood and bone marrow picture suggestive of plasma cell leukemia. A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of marked hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy. She had leukocytosis with 42% plasmacytes, and plasma cells were increased also in her bone marrow (32.6%). She had marked polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinemia with increased IgG, IgA and IgE. IgM and IgD were normal. She complained of cough and dyspnea. Her general condition was too poor to remove a lymph node for pathological examination. After treatment with daunorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone (DVP), her lymphadenopathy diminished rapidly, the immunoglobulins decreased and the plasma cells in her blood disappeared. She achieved a complete remission and has been in good condition without further treatment for 24 months.
