Overview

NCI Definition: A clonal proliferation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. This category includes plasma cell myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, plasmacytoma, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. [1]

Plasma cell neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in KRAS, TP53, NRAS, TET2, and DNMT3A [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Plasma Cell Neoplasm

KRAS Mutation, TP53 Mutation, NRAS Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and TP53 Missense are the most common alterations in plasma cell neoplasm [2].
