Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia Associated with Adult Fanconi Syndrome
2006
Abstract Primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare variant of multiple myeloma that occurs de novo in patients without a history of plasma cell disorder.

In addition to the common clinical picture, our case showed proteinuria (30 mg/dL), glycosuria (150 mg/dL) with normal glycemia, low uric acid concentration …
