Abstract
ABSTRACT Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a term used to describe a range of lymphoproliferative disorders that occur after solid organ transplant. Although the clinical presentation is variable, primary cutaneous PTLD typically presents as isolated nodules that appear as dermal-based proliferations. We present a case of a 70-year-old woman with a history of a kidney transplant who presented with a 2-month history of an asymptomatic, erythematous plaque on the right shin, clinically suspected to be squamous cell carcinoma in situ. Histomorphology demonstrated a dermal proliferation of atypical plasma cells with dense chromatin, variable nucleoli, and irregular nuclear borders. The atypical plasma cells were positive for Epstein-Barr virus by in situ hybridization and markedly kappa-restricted by RNAscope in situ hybridization. A diagnosis of cutaneous monomorphic PTLD, plasma cell neoplasm variant, was rendered, a rare diagnosis in the skin. Treatment for PTLD typically involves reduction of immunosuppression, although our patient progressed and developed new lesions despite this intervention. In this study, we present an atypical presentation of cutaneous PTLD, plasma cell neoplasm variant, presenting as squamous cell carcinoma in situ.

Abstract
Heterogeneous lymphoproliferative disorders occurring in the post-transplant setting are considered together as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders and can rarely present as primary cutaneous lesions. These disorders are often Epstein-Barr virus-driven and in some cases need only be treated with reduction in immune suppressive medications. We present two cases of monomorphic post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, a plasmablastic lymphoma and a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and summarise common reported clinical and histopathological features.

Abstract
Here, we describe the case of a 66-year-old male diagnosed with multiple myeloma who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right solid extra-axial parieto-occipital lesion with typical characteristics of meningeal myelomatosis. Biopsy was performed, which diagnosed a dural plasmacytoma. Because of this, we started concomitant therapy with radiotherapy and lenalidomide, but the patient has a poor response to treatment and died few weeks after its initiation. Myelomatous involvement of the dura mater is a rare occurrence, given that only few cases were reported in the English literature. This presentation confers an ominous prognosis and must be a suspect diagnosis in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma presenting neurological symptoms.

Abstract
Most monomorphic posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) resemble diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or Burkitt lymphoma. Rare cases of PTLD resembling extramedullary plasmacytomas have also been described. This report describes the clinical, histologic, phenotypic, and genotypic findings in 4 cases of plasmacytoma-like PTLD (2 nodal, 1 adenoidal, and 1 cutaneous) and compares the findings with extramedullary involvement by plasma cell neoplasms arising in immunocompetent patients. Plasmacytoma-like PTLDs characteristically arise late after transplantation (mean, 7.0 years), show a variable association with Epstein-Barr virus (2/4 cases positive), and demonstrate histologic and phenotypic findings that overlap with immunocompetent extramedullary plasma cell neoplasms. None of the patients with plasmacytoma-like PTLD developed lytic bone lesions, and 3 of 4 patients had complete responses (>2 years) to reduction of immunosuppression, confirming the role of immunosuppression in the pathogenesis of these lesions. This report, which represents the first case series of plasmacytoma-like PTLD, clarifies the features of this rare subtype of PTLD.

Abstract
We describe an unusual case of recurrent, refractory anterior epistaxis in an 86-year-old man with two mechanical heart valves who was on permanent warfarin therapy. His numerous episodes of epistaxis were incited by chronic nose-picking and strong nose-blowing, practices that he continued to engage in despite repeated medical advice to stop. Stopping his anticoagulation therapy was not considered as a management option because of an unacceptably high risk that this would lead to a thromboembolic event. Eventually, we temporarily sutured his nares closed, and his nosebleeds ceased. The suturing was performed in the ward with local anesthesia. This procedure was simple to perform, fairly well tolerated, easily reversible, and highly effective.

Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytomas in posttransplant patients are rarely encountered. We present the fifth case of a primary cutaneous plasmacytoma (posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder, plasmacytoma-like) that developed in a heart transplant patient. The tumor presented as a solitary nodule of the skin 10 years after transplantation. It subsequently involved 2 other cutaneous sites and remained confined to the skin for 5 years. The neoplastic cells were Epstein-Barr virus small RNAs (EBER 1,2) positive and EBV-latent membrane protein 1 (LMP 1) negative, corresponding to type I EBV latency. The direct role of EBV in the development of the tumor remains uncertain.
