Solitary costal plasmacytoma mimicking lung cancer metastasis

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Aug 29;5(10):1724-1725. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1147. eCollection 2017 Oct.

Abstract

A clinical diagnosis of metastatic bone tumors is usually based on radiological findings without bone biopsy. Plasmacytoma can present as a single osteolytic lesion as described in this case. Early bone biopsy should be considered in unusual clinical settings for a differential diagnosis of primary bone tumors.
