    This report details a rare case of gastric plasmacytoma in an elderly woman. The tumor uniquely produced 7S-IgM-lambda, a finding not previously documented in gastric plasmacytoma research.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Gastric plasmacytoma is a rare extramedullary plasma cell tumor.
    • Monoclonal immunoglobulin production by tumor cells is infrequently reported in gastric plasmacytoma.

    Observation:

    • An 81-year-old woman presented with a gastric plasmacytoma.
    • Immunological studies revealed tumor cells producing IgM-lambda.
    • Neither serum nor urine showed detectable monoclonal immunoglobulin.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the first documented instance of an IgM-producing gastric plasmacytoma.
    • The tumor exclusively produced the 7S-IgM isotype.
    • The absence of detectable 19S-IgM alongside 7S-IgM is highly unusual.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of gastric plasmacytoma heterogeneity.
    • It highlights the importance of detailed immunophenotypic analysis in rare tumors.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms behind aberrant immunoglobulin production in gastric neoplasms.
