Unusual presentation of a solitary plasmocytoma of the jaw: a case report
2013
Introduction. Plasma cell malignancies include two localized forms (e.g. Solitary Plasmocytoma of the Bone-SPB- and Extramedullary Plasmocytoma-EMP) and one more severe disseminated form (e.g. Multiple Myeloma-MM). SPB usually affected male during 6th decades, it occurs as a single uni- or multilocular osteolytic lesion, histopathological- ly characterized by an abnormal proliferation of plasma cell. In some patients SPB may progress to MM, character-ized by multiple osteolytic lesion in several bones, presence of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow biopsy, detection of amyloid deposit and abnormalities of immunoglobulin production. In both clinical forms, the maxillofacial area is rar…
Mandibular involvement of solitary plasmocytoma : a case report
2007
Plasma cell neoplasms (multiple myeloma, solitary plasmocytoma of bone and extra medullar plasmocytoma) are characterized by a monoclonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells. Solitary plasmocytoma of bone (SPB) is a localized form of them. SPB is most frequently seen in vertebrae and secondarily in long bones. Its presence in jaws is extremely rare and when it is seen, angulus and ramus mandible are most common sites of occurrence. Prognosis of SPB is worse than extra medullar plasmacytoma (EMP) and approximately 50% of SPB will transform to multiple myelom. A 76- year old woman consulted to our clinic with a chief complaint of slowly developed swelling in her mandible. She had an oper…
