  • Title: [Primary pancreatic plasmacytoma].
    Author: Sánchez Acevedo Z, Pomares Rey B, Alpera Tenza MR, Andrada Becerra E.
    Journal: Radiologia; 2014; 56(5):e17-20. PubMed ID: 22738942.
    Abstract:
    Extramedullary plasmacytomas are uncommon malignant plasma cell tumors that present outside the bone marrow; 80% of extramedullary plasmacytomas are located in the upper respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal plasmacytomas are rare. We present the case of an asymptomatic 65-year-old man in whom a pancreatic mass was found incidentally. The lesion was determined to be a pancreatic plasmacytoma after fine-needle aspiration cytology and surgical resection. No clinical, laboratory, or imaging findings indicative of multiple myeloma or association with other plasmacytomas were found, so the tumor was considered to be a primary pancreatic plasmacytoma.
