A plasmacytoma is a type of tumor that arises from plasma cells, which are a form of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. These tumors can occur in bone (solitary plasmacytoma of bone) or in soft tissue (extramedullary plasmacytoma). While plasmacytomas are considered a localized form of multiple myeloma, they can potentially progress to more widespread disease if not treated. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, biopsy, and evaluation of bone marrow involvement.

What is soft tissue solitary plasmacytoma?
Soft tissue solitary plasmacytoma is a localized tumor composed of abnormal plasma cells, typically occurring in soft tissues outside the bone. It is considered a form of plasma cell dyscrasia and can present as a mass in various locations, such as the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, or organs. While it is generally less common than multiple myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma can progress to systemic disease if not treated. Diagnosis often involves imaging studies and a biopsy, and treatment typically includes radiation therapy and, in some cases, chemotherapy.
