Multiple primary cutaneous plasmacytoma: first reported case in Brazil
Primary cutaneous plasmacytoma is a rare disease characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells in the skin, in the absence of bone or systemic disease.

We describe the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical aspects as well as the evolution of an 87-year-old female patient, diagnosed as having multiple primary cutaneous plasmacytomas.O plasmocitoma cutĂąneo primĂĄrio Ă© uma entidade rara, caracterizada pela proliferação monoclonal de plasmĂłcitos na pele, na ausĂȘncia de doença Ăłssea ou sistĂȘmica.
