In multiple myeloma (MM), MYC rearrangements that result in increased MYC expression are associated with an aggressive form of MM and adverse outcome. However, the consequences of MYC amplification in MM remain unclear. Here, we describe an unusual case of plasma cell leukemia (PCL) harboring MYC amplification on double minute chromosomes (dmin). A 79-year-old woman was initially diagnosed as having BJP-κ type MM with bone lesions. After seven months, the disease progressed to secondary PCL: leukocytes 49.1 × 109/L with 77% plasma cells showing lymphoplasmacytic appearance. The bone marrow was infiltrated with 76% plasma cells immunophenotypically positive for CD38 and negative for CD45, CD19, CD20, and CD56. The karyotype by G-banding and spectral karyotyping was 48,XX,der(14)t(11;14)(q13;q32),+der(14)t(14;19)(q32;q13.1),+18,6~95dmin[15]/46,XX[5]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected multiple MYC signals on dmin and double IGH/CCND1 fusion signals on der(14)t(11;14) and der(14)t(14;19). Most plasma cells were diffusely and strongly positive for MYC and CCND1 by immunohistochemistry. The patient died of progressive disease after one week. MYC amplification led to high expression of MYC and rapid disease progression, indicating its clinical significance in the pathogenesis of MM/PCL. MYC amplification on dmin may be a very rare genetic event closely associated with the progression to PCL and coexistence of IGH/CCND1 fusions.

It can be a primary manifestation of multiple myeloma or develop as a terminal complication during the disease. Leukemia, Plasmacytic,Plasma Cell Leukemia,Plasmacytic Leukemia,Leukemias, Plasma Cell,Leukemias, Plasmacytic,Plasma Cell Leukemias,Plasmacytic Leukemias
D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.

D005111 Extrachromosomal Inheritance Vertical transmission of hereditary characters by DNA from cytoplasmic organelles such as MITOCHONDRIA; CHLOROPLASTS; and PLASTIDS, or from PLASMIDS or viral episomal DNA.

D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.
