Key Clinical Message We present an interesting case of plasmablastic lymphoma, which is a rare type of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma that is typically diagnosed in HIV‐positive patients and has an immunophenotype that overlaps with multiple myeloma. Our patient is unique because he is HIV‐negative, has primary bone marrow disease, and has an atypical immunophenotype.
