CD138 is a type of protein that is present inside plasma cells found within bone marrow or inside squamous epithelial cells. Doctors use this for looking for tumours called neoplasms that normally grow within plasma cells. The test itself is also called immunohistochemistry and is useful for finding tumour cells.
