The recurrence of a solitary bone cyst of the mandibular condyle in a costochondral bone graft is reported. A solitary bone cyst of the right condylar head and neck of a 10-year-old boy was treated by total resection and immediate reconstruction with a costochondral bone graft. Two years after the first operation, a recurrence of the solitary bone cyst within the bone graft was noted. An open treatment was performed. A review of the literature on solitary bone cysts and recurrences of solitary bone cysts shows that the case reported is unique. Possible reasons for the recurrence are discussed.

Introduction: Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors characterized by a local increase of malignant plasma cells in soft tissue or bone and may occur anywhere without evidence of systemic disease. The aim was to focus on the main surgical techniques and outcomes for this rare chest wall tumor.
Methods: Patients with solitary plasmacytoma involving a rib, who were operated for diagnostic or treatment purposes between 2018 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Plasmacytomas are rare monoclonal neoplastic plasma cell proliferations in soft tissue or bone, with clival plasmacytomas being extremely rare and occasionally presenting with light chain deposition disease (LCDD). While imaging findings for clival plasmacytomas have shown variable T2 signal characteristics, complete T2 signal loss has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 61-year-old female found to have a 1.

Objective: To propose a revised bone reporting and data system (Bone-RADS) and evaluate its diagnostic performance and inter-reader reliability compared to the original Bone-RADS for solitary bone lesions on CT.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 159 adult patients (mean age: 56 ± 19 years; 88 men) who underwent bone biopsy for solitary bone lesions between March 2005 and September 2021. Two radiologists (R1/2) independently categorized the lesions twice, once using the original Bone-RADS and once using the revised version.

Primary solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells outside the bone marrow. The tumor rarely occurs in the sinonasal tract, accounting for about 4% of all non-epithelial sinonasal tumors. Herein, the authors describe a rare case of sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytoma in a 33-year-old man who presented with a 3-month history of progressively increasing nasal mass, causing obstruction.
