Plasmacytoma of the testis in a patient with previous multiple myeloma. A rare case report and review of the literature.

Abstract

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell tumor that homes to and expands in the bone marrow and that, despite the new available drugs, remains incurable. We report the case of a 69-year-old male with multiply relapsed multiple myeloma(MM), who was found to have a testicular plasmacytoma. He presented with a gradually enlarging scrotal mass. Following orchidectomy, pathologic examination of the specimen demonstrated a plasmacytoma.
