Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Cecum and the Ascending Colon: Surgical Resection as a Treatment Modality

Abstract EN

Colonic solitary plasmacytoma is a rare disease, with few reports occurring in the literature.

Solitary plasmacytoma is defined as a plasma cell tumour with no evidence of bone marrow infiltration.

Plasmacytoma can present as a solitary tumour in bone or in other parts of the body.

The gastrointestinal tract is rarely the site of the disease.

We report on the case of a 51-year-old man presenting with a colonic symptomatic mass with unclear biopsy results.

A resected specimen showed a solitary plasmacytoma.

Surgical resection was an adequate treatment modality in this case.

Endoscopic resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are also preferred treatments in selected gastrointestinal plasmacytoma cases.
