Plasma cell leukaemia is a rare variant of multiple myeloma (2-3%), with an aggressive disease with short survival. It is defined as circulating peripheral blood plasma cells exceeding 2.000/ul and 20% of peripheral blood white cells. We present the case of 32-years-old man with left chest-wall pain, hepatomegaly, righ cervical adenopathy, 8800 leukocytes/ul with 33% of lymphocytes and 40% of plasma cell, 10,8 g/dl of proteins and a monoclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Bone marrow biopsy showed 40-50 % of intramedullary plasma cell. There was a Ig G-kappa paraproteinemia.
