Abstract
Plasma cell neoplasia has a wide presentation of disease (localised or systemic) according to the International Myeloma Working Group. Radiological imaging identifies plasmacytomas as solitary lesions or part of multiple myeloma. We present a rare case of a 21-year-old female who presented with a skull-base tumour.
Contribution: A head and neck plasmacytoma with further lytic bone lesions was confirmed on imaging. This article presents and discusses the clinical, CT, MRI, positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, histology and laboratory findings.
根据国际骨髓瘤工作组(International Myeloma Working Group)的说法,浆细胞瘤的病变表现形式多种多样(局部性或全身性)。放射成像可将浆细胞瘤确定为单发病变或多发性骨髓瘤的一部分。我们报告了一例罕见病例,患者是一名21岁女性,颅底肿瘤:贡献:头颈部浆细胞瘤伴有进一步的骨溶解性病变,经影像学证实。本文介绍并讨论了临床、CT、MRI、正电子发射断层扫描(PET)-CT、组织学和实验室检查结果。
