Femoral Neck Fracture in the Setting of Plasmacytoma: A Case Report

Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) is a proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells found in a solitary osteolytic lesion. These osteolytic lesions can present as either bone pain or pathological fracture. We present this interesting case of a 63-year-old male that was found to have a plasmacytoma confined to the femoral neck following the presentation of a pathological fracture. After surgical resection and biopsy, we placed a distally fixating hemiarthroplasty. To our knowledge, there is only one other reported case of a pathological fracture of the femoral neck due to plasmacytoma.
