Plasma cell tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare form of localized plasma cell tumor that arises most often in the head and neck region. We present an unusual case of EMP of the palatine tonsil from a tertiary care university hospital. We discuss the histopathologic and radiologic evaluation as well as treatment of EMP.

Painful Ulcer

A rare and unusual case of plasma cell dyscrasia of the calcaneus is presented. Clinically, the patient had a draining and painful ulcer that was treated with appropriate antibiotics and wound care but failed to show any signs of healing. Radiographic images showed cystic changes of the calcaneus in the vicinity of the ulcer. Blood work was negative for bone and soft-tissue infection, but uric acid and alkaline phosphatase levels were elevated. Nuclear bone scan showed increased uptake in the calcaneus suggestive of osteomyelitis. One possible differential diagnosis was an intraosseous gouty tophus deposit. Not convinced that this was either a bone infection or gout, the author performed a bone biopsy. Pathologic evaluation indicated plasma cell dyscrasia. Continued wound care healed the ulcer completely, with resolution of pain of his heel. Oncology/hematology was consulted, and 16 months after biopsy, he remains asymptomatic.

We describe an unusual case of a biclonal nodal plasma cell dyscrasia, presenting with a vasculitic rash, end-organ damage, and cytopenias. Serum protein electrophoresis demonstrated a biclonal kappa-restricted paraprotein, with a negative skeletal survey and no bone marrow disease. Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET-CT (FDG-PET-CT) revealed nodal involvement, which was not appreciable clinically, and facilitated biopsy, confirming the diagnosis of a nodal plasmacytoma. Complete biochemical response and resolution of the vasculitic rash were achieved with bortezomib-based therapy.

Clinical Appearance

Introduction. Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a relatively rare disease that usually occurs on the anterior maxillary and mandibular gingiva. It manifests as extreme redness, swelling and gum tissue enlargement with propensity for bleeding, accompanied by extensive infiltration of plasma cells in the lamina propria. While the disease etiology remains unclear, its presentation is mostly attributed to nonspecific inflammatory reaction to certain foodstuffs or ingredients in oral hygiene products. Case report. A 9-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl were brought for exam by their mother because of fiery red lesions on the gingiva. The lesions had the same clinical features and identical localization and were concomitantly present in both siblings. After excluding other oral or systemic diseases with similar clinical manifestations, a diagnosis of PCG was established (most likely due to chewing gum). Conclusion. While beeing a purely benign, the PCG clinical appearance may mask much more detrimental conditions. Consequently, each such lesion requires due attention. To date, familial tendency for the development of such a condition has not been reported.
