Extramedullary plasmocytoma relapsing at differents sites: an unusual presentation

Abstract: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is an uncommon plasma cell neoplasm results from plasma cell proliferation and consists of monoclonal plasmacytic infiltration, without bone marrow involvement and any other systemic characteristics of multiple myeloma. EMP accounts for 3% of all plasma cell neoplasms and approximately 80% to 90% of EMP involve submucosa of the upper aerodigestive, while scrotal, dermis and retroperitoneal infiltration are very rare. There are no consensus guidelines for treatment, but EMP is … Show more

“…The term plasmacytoma encompasses a spectrum of diseases ranging from indolent conditions to the more aggressive multiple myeloma, with a wide range of clinical manifestations [1]. Testicular plasmacytoma is a rare disease, either as a primary lesion or as a reflection of underlying multiple myeloma [2][3][4] and only a few cases of testicular forms have been reported in the literature, almost all affecting elderly patients [5].…”

“…En ausencia de compromiso de médula ósea la OMS reconoce dos tipos: el plasmocitoma óseo solitario y el plasmocitoma extramedular (PEM). Los PEM primarios son raros, constituyendo cerca del 3 al 5% de las neoplasias de células plasmáticas 1 . Se asocian a componente o proteína M en menos del 30% de los casos y, de estar presente, desaparece al realizar tratamiento 5 , tal como sucedió en nuestro caso.…”
