Primary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the skin is a very rare disease; to our knowledge, only a few cases have been published in the world literature. In this paper, a patient who had a primary cutaneous plasmacytoma of the lower lip for 20 years is described. Serological, radiological and histological examinations excluded the possibility of an underlying multiple myeloma. The position of cutaneous plasmacytomas within the group of malignant plasma cell neoplasias is discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed.

Cutaneous plasmacytosis (CP) is a rare condition characterized by benign proliferation of mature plasma cells in the skin. It presents as reddish-brown macules, papules, or plaques, typically located on the neck, face, and trunk. The etiology remains unknown, though it is believed to be reactive rather than malignant.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that involves the growth of unusual plasma cells in the bone marrow, with extramedullary plasmacytomas being a rare form that can develop outside the bone marrow.
- A case of a 63-year-old man with multiple myeloma presented with a swollen port site, and imaging showed a mass that turned out to be a metastatic subcutaneous plasmacytoma.
- This case highlights the need to recognize and accurately diagnose skin-related plasmacytomas in patients with venous access ports to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments.

A 10-y-old spayed female Staffordshire Terrier dog was evaluated because of a cutaneous left ear base mass. Cytology revealed sheets of cells with anisocytosis and anisokaryosis, round-to-oval or plasmacytoid cytoplasm, and round, central, or eccentric nuclei; binucleate cells were present. Cytologic findings were consistent with a round cell tumor (plasmacytoma or agranular mast cell tumor), amelanotic melanoma, or anaplastic carcinoma.
