Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are rare plasma cell neoplasms.
  • Breast involvement by EMPs is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Distinguishing breast EMPs from other breast lesions is critical for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of bilateral extramedullary plasmacytoma of the breast.
  • To highlight the rarity of this presentation, particularly in the absence of multiple myeloma.
  • To contribute to the literature on rare breast neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 35-year-old female patient.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic workup.
  • Pathological examination of breast tissue.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma in both breasts.
  • Absence of bone marrow or systemic involvement.
  • Patient presented without features of multiple myeloma.

Conclusions:

  • Bilateral extramedullary plasmacytoma of the breast is an exceedingly rare entity.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in breast pathology.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of breast EMPs is warranted.
