Although multiple myelomas occur fairly frequently, extramedullary plasmacytomas are uncommon. To date, only 7 cases of renal plasmacytoma have been documented. We report case 8 and discuss its management.

Efficacy of Surgical Intervention in Treating Pathological Fractures of the Upper Extremity: A Retrospective Case Series.

Orthopedic Surgery, Kindai University Hospital, Osakasayama, JPN.
Background: We conduct a retrospective analysis of patients with pathological fractures resulting from upper extremity malignancies, focusing on the evaluation of treatment strategies employed.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied 10 patients with metastatic bone tumors of the upper extremities. The study variables included tumor site, primary pathology, duration from the first diagnosis of the primary lesion to the occurrence of the pathological fracture, use of bone-modifying drugs, surgical technique, adjuvant therapy, postoperative functional assessment, Katagiri's score, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS), outcome, and correlations between the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score.
Kidney function in newly diagnosed myeloma patients: factors associated with kidney impairment and recovery.
BMC Nephrol
October 2024
Nephrology Division, Federal University of Sao Paulo and Kidney Transplant Unit, Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Kidney disease is a common issue in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and can lead to higher morbidity and mortality, with a study analyzing the kidney function of these patients during their first year of treatment.
- The research was conducted on 167 patients between 2009 and 2019, many of whom had high blood pressure and severe stages of MM, with significant portions having reduced kidney function at diagnosis.
- Factors like anemia and high protein levels were linked to worse kidney function, but having better initial kidney health and undergoing stem cell transplantation significantly improved recovery over 12 months.
First use of F-FDG PET in TEMPI syndrome: can it be used for treatment assessment? A case report.
Front Nucl Med
October 2023
Nuclear Medicine Department, CHRU TOURS, Tours, France.
Article Synopsis
- TEMPI syndrome combines features like telangiectasias, polycythemia with high erythropoietin levels, monoclonal gammopathy, and has a link to plasma cell neoplasms, but its exact cause is still unclear.
- The use of F-FDG PET imaging is valuable for initial evaluation and treatment monitoring in conditions like multiple myeloma and has been applied successfully for a TEMPI patient, showing significant treatment responses.
- In a 51-year-old woman, post-treatment F-FDG PET scans indicated complete reduction of bone lesions and normalization of symptoms, suggesting the effectiveness of the treatment and the potential of F-FDG PET in managing TEMPI syndrome.
Epstein-Barr virus-positive plasmacytoma in an immunocompetent female: A case report.
J Clin Exp Hematop
September 2024
Department of Pathology, University of Yamanashi, Chuo, Yamanashi, Japan.
Plasmacytoma is defined as a plasma cell neoplasm forming a solitary osseous or extramedullary tumor without evidence of myeloma or organ damage related to a plasma cell neoplasm. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with various B-cell neoplasms, particularly in patients with immune dysregulation; however, plasmacytoma is typically negative for EBV. Here, a case of EBV-positive sternal plasmacytoma in an immunocompetent female is presented.
