[Transudative myelomatous pleurisy revealing pleural localization of primary plasma cell leukemia].

Primary plasma cell leukemia (PPCL) is an aggressive and rare variant of multiple myeloma (MM), with frequent extramedullary involvement, mainly liver and splenic lesions. Pleuropulmonary involvement has rarely been described in the literature. We report a case of primary plasma cell leukemia in a 46-year-old patient, whose first symptom was pleural effusion with mediastinal adenopathies simulating a pleural localization of a lymphomatous process.
