Solitary plasmacytoma of the sacrum treated with microwave ablation in conjunction with high dose of dexamethasone: A case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND: Plasma cell neoplasms are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells. Solitary plasmacytomas most often occur in bone, but they can also be found in soft tissues. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 53-year-old male presented with localized sacral pain and urinary in...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Plasma cell neoplasms are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells. Solitary plasmacytomas most often occur in bone, but they can also be found in soft tissues. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 53-year-old male presented with localized sacral pain and urinary incontinence. His radiographic studies showed a solitary sacral plasmacytoma (i.e., involving the bone). He was successfully managed with high-dose dexamethasone and microwave ablation (MWA). CONCLUSION: Plasmacytomas of bone can be occasionally successfully managed with MWA, adjuvant cytoreduction therapy, and high doses of dexamethasone.
