description Primary plasma cell leukaemia in a young transplant eligible patient brings forth a number of perplexing questions and many remain unanswered. There are good data to suggest the superiority of novel agents over conventional chemotherapy regimens, however choosing between autologous and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant in first remission remains a therapeutic conundrum. We report a case of primary plasma cell leukaemia in a young patient and the dilemmas in its management.
