Internal Medicine, An-Najah National University, Nablus, PSE.
Solitary plasmacytomas (SPs) are tumors characterized by local monoclonal plasma cell proliferation, presenting without systemic manifestations. It mainly affects the axial skeleton, with calcaneal involvement being extremely rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old patient with a history of gunshot injury to his foot who presented with worsening heel pain and a calcaneal cyst.

Article Synopsis
- - Plasmacytoma is a rare condition involving plasma cell growth in bones or soft tissues, with types including solitary bone and extramedullary plasmacytomas; it can occur alongside chronic conditions like osteomyelitis.
- - A 47-year-old man with a history of chronic osteomyelitis experienced ulceration in his tibia, leading to imaging tests that revealed dead bone and inflammation, prompting surgical intervention.
- - Post-surgery, the diagnosis was confirmed as plasmacytoma, and the patient received successful radiotherapy; this case emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of chronic osteomyelitis for possible plasmacytoma development.
Characteristics of Patients and Treatment Recommendations from a Multidisciplinary Spinal Tumor Program.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
We describe characteristics of patient and treatment recommendations from a spinal tumor board at one institution, including representation from palliative care. The impact of prospective multidisciplinary input for patients with spinal tumors is poorly understood despite their increasing complexity. We retrospectively reviewed 622 cases sequentially discussed at a weekly spinal tumor board, and abstracted patient and treatment information from the medical record and meeting minutes.

Aim: To elucidate the characteristics of kyphoplasty in correlation with spinal metastasis.

Impact of bone events on survival in solitary bone plasmacytoma.
Rep Pract Oncol Radiother
April 2020
Department of Radiology and Oncology, Instituto de Radiologia do Hospital das Clínicas, Medical School os Sao Paulo University, Brazil.
Background: Although much studied in multiple myeloma, bone events (BE) can also cause important morbidity in bone plasmacytoma patients. To our knowledge, the effect of BE on overall survival (OS) and progression to multiple myeloma free-survival (MPFS) also has never been studied.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-nine patients treated from 2008 to 2017 were retrospectively assessed.
