abstract a patient with a 3-month history of headache refractory to pain medication was admitted. the ct scan and mri showed evidence of a posterior fossa mass. this was pathologically confirmed as an extra medullary plasmacytoma (emp). he had a pathologic fracture of the left humerus 7 years ago while the radiologist was unaware at the time of diagnosis. a solitary bone plasmacytoma (sbp) was ...

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone is a rare malignant tumor mostly involving the axial skeleton. The tumor occurs in middle- aged or elderly people (mean age: 55 years) and has a high risk of progression to multiple myeloma. Radiotherapy is the preferred treatment for this disease. We report a case of recurrent solitary plasmacytoma of the fourth lumbar vertebra in a 35-year-old male. The patient s...

Regional solitary plasmacytoma of the costa is a rare disease and is characterized by only one or two isolated bone lesions. We report the case of a solitary plasmacytoma of the bone of the right chest wall in an adult. The patient underwent complete enbloc resection of the chest wall including ribs, muscle and parietal pleura. The patient is asymptomatic without any recurrence after two months...

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (SPB) is a rare disease, defined as clonal proliferation of plasma cells identical to those of plasma cell myeloma, which manifest as localised osseous growth with no evidence of disease dissemination. We report a case of solitary plasmacytoma of Right 6 rib in 28-year-old male. The patient underwent complete en-bloc resection of the chest wall harbouring the tumou...

Extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare tumors. In majority of cases tumors arise in the head and neck region and endobronchial localization is extremely rare. The treatment is usually resection alone or combination of surgery with radiotherapy. Herein we present a case of solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma which was resected with bronchoscopic electrocautery, because of extremely rare occurrenc...

Plasmacytoma refers to a distinct and localized growth of plasma cells that are neoplastic monoclonal in nature. Solitary plasmacytomas (SP) can be categorized into two groups based on their location: solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP), which most commonly occurs the vertebrae secondarily long bones, extramedullary (EMP), encompassing SPs found outside bone. Long bones frequently affected plasmac...

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are plasma cell tumors that tend to develop in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues including the sinonasal or nasopharyngeal regions. Primary plasmacytoma of the lung is exceedingly rare and often presents as a solitary mass or nodule in mid-lung or hilar areas and diagnosed after resection. Herein, we report a case of primary pulmonary plasmacytoma that pre...

Solitary plasmacytoma of the bone, and especially of a single rib, is a rare disease. Here we report a 73-year old male patient complaining of continuous chest wall pain around the right 5th rib shaft who underwent a wide excision of the rib tumor with surrounding connective tissue. He was diagnosed with solitary plasmacytoma and will undergo radiation therapy. We report this case with a review...

BACKGROUND Solitary plasmacytoma of the liver is a very rare and aggressive form of plasma cell dyscrasia. To the best of our knowledge, very few cases have been reported without systemic disease. We reported a rare case of hepatic solitary plasmacytoma that successfully responded to fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old white French man had monoclonal gammop...
