Solitary plasmacytoma of the thumb: Arare case report
Authors
Abstract:
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 explored through MR imaging and histologic examination, and then a final diagnosis of plasmacytoma was determined. He was treated with fractionated radiotherapy and no complication was detected with this procedure. The clinical, imaging, and histologic findings of this case are presented here.

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 skull is very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the English literature. Skull solitary plasmacytoma tends to disseminate or progress to multiple myeloma (MM) during follow-up. If the skull lesion is isolated, couple with tenderness and marked swelling in the area, plasmacytoma should be considered, especially for the lesion showing isointense with the ...

Introduction: Plasmacytoma is a localized collection of malignant plasma cells. The disease can be divided into solitary plasmacytoma of the bone (SPB) and extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP), both of which are distinct entities. An EMP, the rarer of the two, has soft tissue infiltration by clonal plasma cells without any occult or systemic myeloma. Whereas, SPB has a solitary lytic bone lesion w...
