Anaplastic myeloma (AM) represents a rare variety of multiple myeloma (MM) with poor prognosis. One case with special interest is reported, which presented with manifestations due to the extramedullary localization and arose in the absence of an initial diagnosis of MM. In addition, differential diagnosis was based on morphological and immunocytochemical findings while treatment with radio-chemotherapy had no effect on the extramedullary sites.

Here we analyzed the DESCAR-T registry database, encompassing all pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies who received CAR T cell therapy in France since 1 July 2018.

Introduction: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and combination chemotherapy are independently used to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) lymphoma. In vitro studies suggest that the addition of HDACi to platinum-based chemotherapy is synergistic.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a phase I study of romidepsin, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin and dexamethasone (Romi-GemOxD) in R/R aggressive lymphomas with an expansion cohort in T-cell lymphomas.
