A plasmacytoma is a discrete, solitary mass of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells in either bone or soft tissue (extramedullary). Types are as follows: Soft-tissue (extramedullary) plasmacytoma (SEP) Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) Multifocal form of multiple myeloma Multiple myeloma Plasmablastic sarcoma To simplify, solitary plasmacytomas can be divided into 2 groups according to location:...

Multiple Myeloma and Other Plasma Cell Neoplasms (PDQ®): Treatment
Multiple myeloma is a systemic malignancy of plasma cells that is highly treatable but rarely curable. It is potentially curable when it presents as a solitary plasmacytoma of bone or as an extramedullary plasmacytoma. The median survival in the prechemotherapy era was...

The Doctor's Doctor Plasmacytoma is a localized collection of monoclonal plasma cells. The disease is divided into primary plasmacytoma of the bone and extramedullary plasmacytoma. The importance of the diagnosis rests with the potential for these disorders to progress to multiple myeloma. Solitary plasmacytoma of the bone are usually painful and...

Solitary Bone and Extramedullary Plasmacytoma

Location: http://asheducationbook.hematologylibrary.org/cgi/content/full/2005/1/373

Abstract Less than 5% of patients with a plasma cell dyscrasia present with a single bone (SBP) or extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) without evidence of systemic disease (normocalcemia, absence of anemia, preservation of uninvolved immunoglobulins, or renal disease attributable to myeloma). Diagnosis requires biopsy confirmation of a monoclonal plasma cell infiltrate from...
