A case is reported, believed to be the first, of a patient with a long‐standing cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma, in whom disseminated plasma cell myeloma subsequently developed shortly before the patient died. It is postulated that, rather than to a chance association, the second B‐cell neoplasm evolved under the sustained inducer‐cell activity of the malignant lymphocytes of the cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma.
