Gastric adenocarcinoma concurrent with paravertebral plasmacytoma: A case report

Abstract

Abstract. Here, we report the case of a 77-year-old male patient who was revealed to have an unsuspected case of gastric adenocarcinoma with paravertebral plasmacytoma following biopsy. Plasmacytoma may be classified into two main groups: Multiple myeloma and plasmacytoma without marrow involvement. It comprises isolated plasmacytoma of the bone and extramedullary plasmacytoma. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) accounts for 3% of all plasmacytomas; however, ~80% are located in the upper respiratory tract and upper gastrointestinal tract. It occurs extremely rarely in paravertebral areas. Case reports of EMP and other types of malignant tumor occurring at the same time have not been identified in searches of the literature. In the present study, we describe the diagnosis and treatment process of a case of gastric adenocarcinoma concurrent with paravertebral plasmacytoma. It may be helpful for early clinical diagnosis and treatment of such cases.

Acute Gangrenous Appendicitis in A 70-Year-Old Patient with Multiple Myeloma

“…The extramedullary localization of the disease constitutes approximately 3% of the entire plasmacyte's neoplasias category [16]. Of those 80% are tumors observed on the head and neck and only 5% are composed of gastrointestinal solid tumors as extramedullary localization [17] [18]. Talking about localization, it is impoortant to mention some of the most extremely rare anatomical areas of identification, the large intestine, as well as, the rectum, especially the iileocecal area [19,20] and the appendix [15].…”

Extramedullary plasmacytoma occuring in ileocecum

“…The most common site is small intestine followed by stomach. [ 7 , 8 ] The incidence in colon is very rare, [ 9 , 10 ] especially in ileoceccal region is significantly low. Gabriel et al showed an extramedullaryileocecalplasmacytoma with a large ileocecal perforation.…”
