A relationship between AID and lymphoproliferative diseases, although rare, may occur and some studies suggest that the diagnosis of autoimmune disease has a negative impact on survival in MM patients.Bone marrow plasmacytosis can present a diagnostic dilemma, since it may be due to neoplastic or non-neoplastic conditions (that is, reactive plasmacytosis associated with AID, chronic infection, metastatic carcinoma, liver diseases and acquired immunodeficiency).Immunophenotyping in a myelogram or immunohistochemistry in bone marrow studies are useful in confirming a monoclonal plasma cell proliferation.
