Cutaneous and systemic plasmocytosis is a rare disorder characterized by a polyclonal plasma cell infiltration in skin and other organs. We report a case of a 31 year old man with a medical history of HIV infection. He had frontal bone and skin involvement. Histopathological examination revealed a perivascular infiltrate composed predominantly of plasma cells expressing kappa and lamba light chains. Laboratory test demonstrated polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. The patient had spontaneus remission of his disease.
