“…The presentation of solitary plasmacytoma depends on the involved organ, and as extramedullary plasmacytoma doesn’t involve bone or bone marrow, the typical findings of multiple myeloma including anemia, hypercalcemia, bone pain, and renal insufficiency are typically absent, which makes the diagnosis more challenging [ 5 ]. The reported cases in the literature were for symptomatic patients who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and upper GI bleeding with imaging and endoscopic findings of duodenal mass [ 6 , 7 ]. To our knowledge, only two cases of plasmacytoma presented with a duodenal ulcer were reported in the literature [ 8 , 9 ], which implies the extremely rare presentation of our patient.…”

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a rare tumor due to the monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells without bone marrow involvement. Plasmacytomas are frequently encountered in bone or soft tissue but rarely occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They can present with a multitude of symptoms depending on their site. This report describes a case of SEP diagnosed as a duodenal ulcer (DU) during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for iron deficiency anemia.

“…However, there are no reports of spontaneous perforation and abdominal abscess caused by EMP of the small intestine. Reports on EMP of the small intestine are mostly single case reports, and most of the patients underwent routine surgery[ 7 , 13 ]. It is rare to find this disease during an emergency surgery.…”

BACKGROUND Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare disease. Clinical manifestations of EMPs are varied and depend on the location and progression of the tumor. CASE SUMMARY Here, we firstly report a case of intestinal perforation with abdominal abscess caused by EMP of the small intestine in a 55-year-old female patient. The patient received emergency surgery immediately after the necessary preoperative procedures. During the operation, EMP was found to have caused the perforation of the small intestine and the formation of multiple abscesses in the abdominal cavity. Partial resection of the small intestine with peritoneal irrigation and drainage was performed. EMP was finally confirmed by postoperative histopathology and laboratory tests. Additionally, we performed a literature review of gastrointestinal EMP to obtain a deeper understanding of this disease. CONCLUSION EMP of the small intestine may have spontaneous perforation, which requires emergency surgery. Surgical resection can obtain good therapeutic effects.
