Definition
According to WHO, "Plasma cell neoplasm" is the umbrella term that includes MGUS, plasma cell myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma of bone, immunoglobulin deposition disease, extraosseous plasmacytoma and osteosclerotic myeloma. Of these, only the plasma cell myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma of bone and extraosseous plasmacytoma are reportable.
Note: This terminology was added to the Hematopoietic Manual and Database for 1/1/2012. This should not have been added. If the only diagnosis is "plasma cell neoplasm," this would be non-reportable.
If the diagnosis is "plasma cell neoplasm c/w multiple myeloma (or another reportable disease)", then that would be a reportable disease.
