We report the case of a 79-year-old man for whom investigations of superior vena cava syndrome have revealed extramedullary plasmocytoma. Extramedullary plasmocytoma (EMP) is the less frequent form of plasma cell neoplasms. The mediastinal location of EMP is rare, and its compressive nature is exceptional. Another particular feature we observed is that the EMP was associated with an authentic kappa light chain multiple myeloma.
我们报告了一例79岁男性患者，其经上腔静脉综合征检查发现了髓外浆细胞瘤。髓外浆细胞瘤（EMP）是浆细胞肿瘤中较为少见的类型。EMP位于纵隔的情况罕见，且具有压迫性的更是罕见。我们观察到的另一个特殊特征是，该EMP与真性κ轻链多发性骨髓瘤相关。
