Solitary plasmacytoma of the sternum

Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Sternum

Plasmacytoma is a plasma cell neoplasm that locally infiltrates a bone or spreads to extramedullary areas. A new World Health Organization criterion defines solitary plasmacytoma of bone as a localized bone tumor consisting of plasma cells identical to those seen in plasma cell myeloma, which is manifested as a solitary osteolytic lesion in a radiological evaluation. Primary tumors of the stern...

Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Mandible: Report of a Rare Case

Solitary bone plasmacytoma belongs to a group of lymphoproliferative clinical disorders typified by clonal proliferation of plasma cells. Solitary plasmacytoma typically involves a single bone or extramedullary site. It commonly occurs in the vertebrae or thorax, and rarely involves the mandible. The aim of this report is to present a rare case of solitary plasmacytoma of the jaws mimicking per...

Solitary plasmacytoma of the sternum with a spiculated periosteal reaction: A case report

Solitary plasmacytomas (SPs) represent ≤5% of all plasma cell neoplasms and mostly occur in the spine, pelvis, ribs and pectoral girdle, while rarely occurring in the sternum. The tumors typically appear as osteolytic lesions. In rare cases, SPs can manifest as bony spicules on the surface of the bone. The present study reports the case of a 74 year-old female with an osteolytic tumor localized...

Solitary plasmacytoma of the thumb: Arare case report

  Abstract   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 explo...
