Solitary extraosseous plasmacytoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma cell neoplasms are characterized by a neoplastic plasma cell lineage which produces a monoclonal immunoglobulin. These neoplasms can present as a single lesion (solitary plasmacytoma) or as multiple lesions (multiple myeloma). Solitary plasmacytomas most frequently occur in bone (plasmacytomas of bone), but can also be found outside bone in soft tissues (extramedullary plasmacytomas).

Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma of the liver.
Solitary extrameduallary plasmacytomas represent approximately 3% of all plasma cell neoplasms. Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the liver is a very rare tumor, although a few cases of extramedullary plasmacytoma of the liver have been reported. We report an unusual case of liver plasmacytoma without systemic disease, diagnosed by percutaneous needle biopsy of the hepatic lesion. The patient was ...

A myeloma is an abnormal proliferation of plasma cells derived from reticulum cells (Innes and Newall, 1961). Four types are usually differentiated: multiple myeloma when tumours are scattered through the skeleton; solitary myeloma or plasmacytoma when the lesion is localized to a single focus in a bone; extramedullary plasmacytoma when the lesion is found in extraosseous sites such as the uppe...
متن کاملSolitary 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...
متن کاملExtraosseous Multiple Myeloma: Case Report of Presentation in the Lower Extremity Soft Tissues with Literature Review
A rare presentation of extramedullary multiple myeloma in the soft tissues of the bilateral thighs prompted a literature review of published cases of extramedullary multiple myeloma (EM-MM) and solitary plasmacytomas to determine the relative anatomic distribution of these lesions. All available published cases in English were included in the analysis, dating back to 1966 and including 2,538 ex...
متن کاملSolitary 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...
