Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare form of plasma cell tumor occurring in a wide variety of organs and tissues. Most tumors occur in the head and neck, involving the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and upper airway. Tl-201 and Ga-67 scan findings in a patient with extramedullary plasmacytoma in the right side of the chest wall are presented. Only a few publications have described Tl-201 or Ga-67 uptake in extramedullary plasmacytoma. This is the first report of both Tl-201 and Ga-67 uptake in an extramedullary (or intramedullary) plasmacytoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
