Multifocal Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Thyroid With Cervical and Paratracheal Lymph Node Involvement and Progression to Multiple Myeloma.

Extramedullary plasmacytomas without evidence of systemic illness make up less than 5% of all plasma cell neoplasms. The incidence of extramedullary plasmacytoma of the thyroid region is exceedingly rare. This report discusses the case of a 72-year-old male with extramedullary plasmacytoma of the thyroid.

CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery for extramedullary plasmacytoma in the external auditory canal: illustrative case.

Background: Plasmacytoma, a rare plasma cell disorder, often presents as a solitary or multiple tumors within the bone marrow or soft tissues, typically associated with multiple myeloma. Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs), particularly those located in the external auditory canal (EAC), are exceedingly rare and pose significant treatment challenges given their location, anatomical complexity, and high risk of recurrence.

Observations: The authors report the case of a 72-year-old male with a history of multiple myeloma, presenting with recurrent left EAC plasmacytoma.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the orbit complicating the evolution of multiple myeloma in complete remission.

Orbital plasmacytoma is rare and has only been reported in the context of the initial diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Moreover, isolated orbital plasmacytoma without any signs of multiple myeloma is extremely rare. We report the case of a 59-year-old female patient diagnosed with IgA Kappa multiple myeloma.

Melan-A immunolabeling in canine extramedullary plasmacytomas.

Histologic diagnosis of less well-differentiated cases of canine extramedullary plasmacytomas (CEMPs) may require immunohistochemical confirmation to discriminate these tumors from other round cells tumors including lymphoma, cutaneous histiocytoma, and amelanotic melanomas. CEMPs are characterized by widespread immunoreactivity for multiple myeloma 1 (MUM1) antigen and λ light chains, while the melanocytic marker melan-A has been reported to yield negative results. Here, 33 randomly selected CEMPs, 20 melanocytomas, and 20 malignant melanomas were immunohistochemically tested for MUM1, melan-A, and PNL2.

Solitary bone plasmacytoma: Long-term clinical outcomes in a single center.

Background: A solitary plasmacytoma is classified into a solitary plasmacytoma of the bone (SBP) and a solitary extramedullary (soft tissue mass) plasmacytoma, based on the site of the lesion. Despite the high local control rate with radiotherapy, approximately half of patients' conditions progress to multiple myeloma (MM) within 3-5 years after diagnosis, with SBP having a worse prognosis.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively assessed the treatment and outcomes of patients with SBP in a hospital in China from 2008 to 2021.

18 F-FDG PET/CT in Solitary Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Penis.

A 72-year-old man presented with a painless penile mass for 3 months. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed heterogeneous enhancement, whereas 18 F-FDG PET/CT displayed inhomogeneous 18 F-FDG accumulation in the lesion without other abnormal activity. The histopathological examination from biopsied specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a plasmacytoma.

Megalosplenia as an initial manifestation of multiple myeloma with a novel CYLD gene mutation: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Megalosplenia in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) is extremely rare, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its unusual location and clinical manifestations and lack of optimal therapeutic strategies.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old female who was previously healthy presented with a history of ecchymosis on her right leg accompanied by progressive fatigue for 2 weeks. She was admitted to our center in July 2019 due to thrombocytopenia.

A Plasmacytoma of the Lateral Pharyngeal Wall: A Diagnostic Enigma.

Plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell dyscrasia that grows in bones or soft tissues such as the pharynx. Soft tissue plasmacytomas are rare, and a higher burden has been reported in the upper aero-digestive tract, often manifesting as hoarseness, dysphagia, or odynophagia. Due to their rarity, extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) have unknown prognostic factors, and guidelines for optimal management are still lacking.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the larynx - Case report.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the larynx is an extremely rare entity accounting for 0.04-0.45% of malignant tumours of the larynx.

Recurrence of solitary plasmacytoma in the liver 10 years after the onset of multiple bone lesions.

A 79-year-old man presented with a history of solitary plasmacytoma in the bone 10 years ago. Chemoradiotherapy was effective, and remission was maintained with intermittent treatment at relapse of the bone lesions. One year after the last treatment, a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple liver masses, and a liver biopsy revealed plasmacytoma.

Successful Treatment of Refractory Orbital Plasmacytoma with Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Orbital plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell tumor that may arise as an aggressive form of extramedullary multiple myeloma. Treatment modalities include surgical excision, radiation, and chemotherapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy is currently reserved for refractory disease.

Superior Oblique Muscle Extramedullary Plasmacytoma in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma and a Review of Literature.

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy, is a systemic disease affecting various body organs. Plasmacytoma of bone and extramedullary disease (EMD) are presentations of MM. EMD is usually the sign of a more aggressive form of the disease.

[Consensus for the diagnosis and management of extramedullary plasmacytoma in China(2024)].

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a special type of malignant plasmacytosis, which is complex and heterogeneous. Most EMP patients have poor prognosis and lack a stratified prognostic system or ideal treatment strategy supported by evidence-based medical evidence, which cannot meet clinical needs. In order to improve the understanding of this disease entity, Plasma Cell Disease Group, Chinese Society of Hematology, Chinese Medical Association and Chinese Myeloma Committee-Chinese Hematology Association developed the "Chinese Expert Consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of extramedullary plasmacytoma", which aims to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of EMP and ultimately improve the overall survival of patients with plasmacytoma.

Combined endoscopic transorbital and transnasal approach for the management of a solitary plasmacytoma of the sphenoid bone: A case report and literature review.

Background: Parasellar plasmacytomas are rare neurosurgical entities. Intrinsic characteristics of these tumors, such as adjacent bone erosion and symptoms resulting from invasion and mass effect, may lead to the possibility of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) as a differential diagnosis.

Case Description: We present the case of a 39-year-old male with a 1-month history of bilateral decreased visual acuity, retroocular pulsating pain, and chromatic vision loss.

Enhanced clinical outcomes with radiotherapy in diagnostically challenging intracranial plasmacytomas: Analysis of 190 cases.

Background: Intracranial plasmacytomas are rare tumors arising from plasma cells with approximately half of the cases progressing to multiple myeloma (MM). However, there is a lack of comprehensive clinical cohort analysis on the clinical and pathological features, progression, and outcomes of intracranial plasmacytomas.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 190 cases was conducted, combining data from 38 cases in a single institution and 152 cases from the literature.

Radiotherapy in Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Tongue with Nodal Involvement: A Case Report with One-Year Follow-Up.

Tongue extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) with regional lymph node metastases is a very rare pathology. Despite being a rare entity, extramedullary plasmacytoma should be considered a differential diagnosis in cases of a mass or ulcer in the tongue. A 60-year-old lady presents with an ulcerative lesion over the right lateral border of the tongue with dimensions 3.

Cutaneous Plasmacytoma with Systemic Metastases in a Cape Serotine Bat ().

Despite their relatively long life-spans, reports of neoplasia in bats are rare and are limited to a handful of cases. In this report, we describe a 2-year-old female wild Cape serotine bat () that had been caught by a domestic cat and presented with a skin mass over the chest area. Histopathological analysis of a subsequent biopsy revealed proliferating sheets of neoplastic round cells, occasionally appearing to form packets, supported by a fine, fibrovascular stroma.

Solitary Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Left Lower Eyelid: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a collection of plasma cells in soft tissue tumors characterized by monoclonal plasma cells without systemic symptoms or evidence of bone disease. We present a case of SEP in a 49-year-old African American patient who presented with a slowly enlarging eyelid mass and underwent an excisional biopsy with ophthalmology before the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology in the absence of systemic symptoms or bone disease. Our review found only six confirmed cases of SEP of the eyelid described in the literature.
