Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare type of tumour consisting of monoclonal plasma cells found in soft tissues. Breast plasmacytomas account for less than 1% of all breast neoplasms. Breast plasmacytomas are challenging to identify on imaging due to nonspecific features. Their rarity as a cause of breast lump presents a management challenge to breast clinicians. Official guidance on management in the breast is lacking. We report a case of a 100-year-old woman who was diagnosed with multiple extramedullary plasmacytomas after an incidental finding of a right breast mass on a CT scan.
