A rare extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) presented unusually in the posterior mediastinum, causing musculoskeletal pain. Radiotherapy led to significant clinical improvement, suggesting a potential first report of this rare presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare plasma cell tumor.
  • Typically, EMPs occur in the upper respiratory tract.

Observation:

  • A case report details an unusual presentation of EMP in the posterior mediastinum.
  • The patient initially reported musculoskeletal pain.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via CT-guided biopsy, revealing plasma cell aggregates.

Findings:

  • Bone marrow aspiration ruled out multiple myelomatosis.
  • The patient experienced significant clinical improvement following radiotherapy.

Implications:

  • This case may represent one of the first documented instances of primary solitary EMP in the posterior mediastinum.
