Discussion 진단: Solitary plasmacytoma
고찰
• Plasma cell tumor : neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells
 Solitary : plasmacytoma (extramedullary, bone) / Multifocal : multiple myeloma
• Etiology : unclear (viral infections and trauma are thought to be involved, e.g HCV and EBV)
• Common sites of involvement : spine, pelvis and femur
 Skull is a rare location for solitary plasmacytoma without signs of systemic myelomatosis
• Imaging features
 Radiography and CT: well-defined, osteolytic lesion with nonsclerotic margins (small remaining bony fragments can be seen)
 MRI: hypo- to isointense SI on T1WI, iso to hyperintense SI on T2WI, avid & homogeneous enhancement
• Solitary plasmacytoma of the bone tends to disseminate or progress to multiple myeloma in later years (70%)
 Strict follow-up of solitary plasmacytoma patients is important
