Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Primary pancreatic plasmacytoma is an exceptionally rare plasma cell neoplasm.
  • Distinguishing it from other pancreatic masses requires specific diagnostic markers.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old male presented with a pancreatic tail mass, surgically resected.
  • Post-surgery, inguinal lymphadenopathy developed, indicating potential metastasis.

Findings:

  • Immunohistological analysis revealed dense plasma cell infiltration in both the pancreatic mass and lymph nodes.
  • Both sites demonstrated positivity for kappa light chain, IgG, and CD38, confirming plasmacytoma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of considering plasmacytoma in pancreatic masses.
