Abstract

Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) is a rare disease characterized by a localized proliferation of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells. We talk about solitary bone plasmacytoma if the lesion originates in bone, most frequently occurs in the axial skeleton, such as vertebra. The most common complaint of patients with such disease is back pain, it can evolve to radiculalgia or even neurological deficit. CT-scan and MRI are crucial to detect bone lesions and neural compressions. It has a higher rate of evolution into multiple myeloma. Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice, Moreover, the role of surgery and chemotherapy is still under debate.
