MULTIPLE PRIMARY EXTRAMEDULLARY PLASMACYTOMAS: AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION
Authors
Abstract:
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare neoplasm of soft tissue which usually arises in the respiratory tract, nasal cavity, sinuses and nasopharynx. Multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rare, especially those that are not associated with multiple myeloma.We describe multiple primary EMP in a 37 year old man, without involvement of bone or bone marrow. EMP usually has a good prognosis but our patient survived only 15 months after diagnosis.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells producing a monoclonal immunoglobulin. Active MM is defined by the presence of an M-protein in the serum or urine, plasma cell infiltration of the bone marrow (at least 10%), and the presence of related tissue or organ impairment. The latter can be remembered by the acronym CRAB: C is elevated calcium, R is re...

A 54-year-old woman presented with a mass in the right breast and right thigh; her condition was diagnosed as multiple myeloma (light chain, lambda type; serum M protein level 1,730 mg/dL) with plasmacytomas. Plasmacytomas showed high radiolabeled fluorodeox...

low-up colonoscopy 4 years after undergoing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for colonic adenoma. Two small polyps were found in the cecum and the rectum (●" Fig. 1a,b) and EMR was performed. Histologically, both resected specimens showed a dense infiltration of plasma cells (●" Fig. 2a,b). They were considered to be monoclonal neoplastic cells because they were immunohistochemically positive...

We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with a true non secretory multiple myeloma of the producer type relapsing after many lines of therapy including the novel anti-myeloma drugs, which eventually relapsed as extramedullary liver plasmacytomas manifesting as a fatal acute cholestatic hepatitis. Due to the aggressiveness of this disease, new therapeutic modalities are necessary.
