Abstract
#Plasmacytoma refers to a #malignanttumor composed of abnormal plasma
cells which grows within soft tissue or within the axial skeleton.
There are three distinct groups of plasmacytoma, of which the solitary plasmacytoma of bone (SPB), accounts for 3-5% of all plasma cell
malignancies. The World Health Organization define solitary plasmacytoma
of bone (SPB) as a localized #bonetumor consisting of #plasmacell
identical to those seen in plasma #cellmyeloma, which appears as a
solitary lytic lesion on radiological examination. Here, we report a
case of a
50-year old male who presented with swelling of the medial end of
clavicle of right side and inability to raise his right hand for the
last 3 months.
Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed cellular smears composed of
sheets of plasma cells with bi-nucleate and multi-nucleated forms. The
swelling was operated and subsequent histopathology revealed a solitary
plasmacytoma of right clavicle.
