Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) rarely occur during the course of multiple myeloma (MM). Most frequent reported sites are superior respiratory airways, pleura, lung, lymph nodes, skin, subcutaneous and soft tissues, testicles and liver. EMP involving the urinary tract are very uncommon and have been ill-described in the literature. We report two unusual cases of obstructive urinary tract EMP...

This paper scrutinizes the recently postulated link between the European Marriage Pattern (EMP) and economic success. A metastudy of the historical demography literature shows that the EMP did not prevail throughout Europe, its three key components did not always coincide, and its more extreme manifestations were associated with economic stagnation rather than growth. There is no evidence that ...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an uncommon neoplastic disorder arising from B-cell series lymphocytes and comprises 3% of plasma cell neoplasms and 0.1% of laryngeal carcinomas. Isolated EMP of the true vocal cord is an extremely rare lesion. Only 9 cases have been reported in the English medical literature. We report a case of isolated EMP of the right true vocal cord in a 55-year-old ma...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is the term for plasma cell tumours which present outside of bone.The plasma cell lesions affecting the head and neck are multiple myeloma, EMP, plasma cell granuloma, and solitary plasmacytoma. EMP has been rarely met in the form of multiple lesions (10 per cent) (1). EMP could be staged according to the spread of the disease: Stage I is disease confined to on...

This study is retrospective investigation of extramedullary plasmacytomas(EMPs) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM ) . The main purpose is to discuss the clinical characteristics and treatment. Method:We studied 79 patients of EMP in MM, and collected the clinical characteristics, laboratory features, treatment, and prognosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma(EMP) in patients with multiple myel...

BACKGROUND Extraosseous plasmacytoma, so called extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is relatively rare in China. The aim was investigate the clinicopathologic features of EMP and the role of Immunophenotype and genotype detection in diagnosis of EMP. METHODS Thirty-two cases of EMP were investigated retrospectively by histopathology, immunophenotype, genotype and survival analysis. RESULTS Cl...

We present a fast, reliable and inexpensive restriction-free cloning method for seamless DNA insertion into any plasmid without sequence limitation. Exponential megapriming PCR (EMP) cloning requires two consecutive PCR steps and can be carried out in one day. We show that EMP cloning has a higher efficiency than restriction-free (RF) cloning, especially for long inserts above 2.5 kb. EMP furth...

Plasma cell tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare form of localized plasma cell tumor that arises most often in the head and neck region. We present an unusual case of EMP of the palatine tonsil from a tertiary care university hospital. We discuss the histopathologic and radiologic evaluatio...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an uncommon manifestation of plasma cell neplasia, which occurs outside the bone marrow. Intestinal involvement usually occur secondarily in multiple myeloma but it occur primarily less commonly. We experienced a woman who had a primary EMP localized in the stomach and the EMP was removed successfully by endoscopic submucosal dissection. The lesion was patho...

I discuss the importance of the electromagnetic penguin (EMP) contribution to 8. I confirm the corrections to earlier calculations found by Buras and Gerard (BG). Incorporating these corrections, I calculate the Wilson coefficients of the EMP operators using the full anomalous dimension matrices, and also using the large N (number of colors) approach of BG. I disagree with BG on the coefficient...
