function test was normal. albumin was 3.7 g% and globulin was 3 gm%. Serum calcium was 9.5 mg% and phosphate was 4 mg%. X-Ray of the cervical vertebrae showed small multiple lytic lesions in second cervical vertebra involving spinous process and pedicle (Fig. 1). In CT scan there was also soft tissue swelling around the second cervical vertebra (Fig. 2). A CT guided FNAC from the lytic lesions ...

nant tumor composed entirely of plasma cells in the absence of bone involvement. These tumors can occur anywhere in soft tissue, especially in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity (1). Plasmacytoma of the breast is a rare condition that may occur as a solitary finding or in association with multiple myeloma (2). We report here on a case of plasmacytoma of the breast that was associated w...

A solitary plasmacytoma of bone occurs in approximately 2-5% of patients with myeloma. The lesion mostly found in the axial skeleton and have infrequently been reported to arise in the hand, and usually occur in the distal phalanges. We report the interesting case of a 75-year-old man who developed a solitary lytic lesion of the thumb proximal phalanx. This lesion was explored through MR imagin...

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare condition affecting the jaws which manifests itself as a single osteolytic lesion without plasmocytosis of bone marrow and constitutes approximately 3% of all plasma containing tumors. It is different from multiple myeloma in terms of its clinical behaviour and prognosis. The most common clinical presentation is local bone pain and lesion on alveolar ridge and af...

Three patients with peripheral neuropathy and a solitary plasmacytoma are presented, and the literature is reviewed. It is suggested that middle-aged men with an obscure progressive sensorimotor neuropathy, a raised CSF protein, and otherwise negative investigations should have a full skeletal survey since irradiation of a plasmacytoma may lead to a considerable improvement in the associated ne...

solitary plasmacytoma in the right shoulder in 2002, which was treated with local radiotherapy. In December 2004, new plasmacytomas in the knee and ankle were diagnosed and treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with good clinical response. In November 2007, a new plasmacytoma in the right thigh was diagnosed and systemic treatment was chosen. The patient developed cholestatic jaundice aft...
