Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare blood disorder commonly found in young children. It is not a well understood disease and therefore can be difficult to treat. There are two types of HLH, primary and secondary.
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is an aggressive form of multiple myeloma characterized by high levels of abnormal plasma cells circulating in the peripheral (circulating) blood. Normal plasma cells in the bone marrow produce antibodies that fight infection. In myeloma most of the abnormal plasma cells remain in the bone marrow and are not found in the peripheral blood. In PCL, the abnormal plasma cells are in the peripheral blood. Therefore, PCL is considered to be an advanced form of myeloma.
