In this case report, we discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and management of a 67-year-old gentleman with stage II multiple myeloma with concurrent biopsy-proven bone plasmacytoma and why it is important to understand the molecular intricacies of these disorders. We emphasize the critical role of radiology in identifying, characterizing, and managing these lesions. Furthermore, we shed light on the critical differentiation between solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma and multiple myeloma and discuss treatment modalities for both conditions.
在本病例报告中,我们讨论了一位67岁患有II期多发性骨髓瘤并伴有经活检证实的骨浆细胞瘤的男性患者的临床表现、诊断和治疗,以及理解这些疾病分子复杂性的重要性。我们强调了放射学在识别、表征和管理这些病变中的关键作用。此外,我们阐明了孤立性髓外浆细胞瘤和多发性骨髓瘤之间的关键区别,并讨论了这两种情况的治疗方式。
