A rare case of Epstein-Barr virus-positive anaplastic plasmacytoma in the sinonasal tract

Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus-positive anaplastic plasmacytoma in the sinonasal tract is uncommon. Herein, we present the case of a 40-year-old male patient with a right sinonasal tract filled with a soft tissue mass, as shown on CT. Apart from frequent nosebleeds, he did not report any specific sinonasal symptoms, such as nasal obstruction, discharge, or loss of smell. The patient underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. The diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus-positive anaplastic plasmacytoma was confirmed by lesion biopsy, subsequent immunohistochemical staining, and in situ hybridization.

Solitary plasmacytoma of the maxilla: a case report

“…Возможно, различия гистологической картины ПЛЦ связаны с наличием определенных предрасполагающих факторов, особенно инфекционных. Например, в описанном T. Zhou et al [10] случае гистологически подтвержденной анапластической плазмоцитомы носовых синусов у пациента имела место подтвержденная инфекция, вызванная вирусом Эпштейна-Барр, гистологическая картина была представлена пролиферацией гиперхромных плазматических клеток с множественными митозами и положительной экспрессией CD38, CD138, MUM1, CD56, Kappa, Bcl2. В описанном J.…”

Plasmacytoma of the Head and Neck: Case Series and Review of the Literature

“…Solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is a rare neoplasm characterized by localized proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Plasma cell neoplasms present as a spectrum of disease, with SP occurring as an early stage malignancy, between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and multiple myeloma (MM) [1][2][3][4].…”

A rare case of extramedullary rectal anaplastic plasmacytoma at the site of previously surgically resected rectal adenocarcinoma

“…Results We report the case of a 62-year-old patient previously diagnosed with non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the rectum operated with a low anterior resection. During follow-up, 5 years after initial diagnosis and surgical resection, the patient presented with episodes of rectal bleeding and endoscopic examination revealed a hemorrhagic ulcerated invasive lesion where multiple biopsies were obtained 1 2 3 .…”
