Extraosseous Plasmacytomas: A Radiologist's Perspective-A Narrative Review of the Literature.
Diagnostics (Basel)
August 2024
Department of Radiology, General University of Patras, 61000 Patras, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- * EPs can appear in various body parts, including the lungs, breasts, and abdominal organs, making them tough to diagnose due to their similar imaging characteristics to other conditions.
- * The review highlights the importance of imaging for detecting EPs, but emphasizes that a histological confirmation is essential for an accurate diagnosis, especially for patients with a history of multiple myeloma, as timely diagnosis can greatly improve
Solitary Testicular Plasmacytoma: A Case Report.

Department of Urology, Misugikai Otokoyama Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Plasmacytoma of the testis is a rare type of cancer that can appear as a solitary tumor or alongside multiple myeloma, with a generally good prognosis from localized treatments like surgery or radiation.
- A case of a 69-year-old man with a solitary testicular plasmacytoma showed that initial treatment was successful, but he later developed bone lesions, leading to the need for chemotherapy.
- The findings suggest that while STP is rare and its prognosis can be unclear, systemic chemotherapy may be necessary for recurrence, emphasizing the importance of long-term patient follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old man undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma experienced testicular swelling 3 years after diagnosis.
- Following a high orchiectomy, he was diagnosed with plasmacytoma, prompting treatment with isatuximab and dexamethasone.
- Current follow-up shows no recurrence, highlighting the importance of pathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment in rare testicular tumors.

Plasma cell neoplasms include various conditions ranging from indolent conditions such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to more aggressive forms such as multiple myeloma (MM). The World Health Organization classifies plasmacytomas into two types: solitary osseous plasmacytoma (SOP) and extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP). Most primary EMPs occur in the upper gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, upper respiratory system, central nervous system, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys.

Background/aim: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is defined as a localized plasma cell neoplasm that arises in tissues other than the bone. The most common sites of involvement of EMP are the upper airways followed by lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, thyroid gland, skin, brain, liver, and lungs. Testicular plasmacytoma has a very rare occurrence with about 70 cases reported in literature to date.
