Renal plasmacytoma is a rare extramedullary manifestation of plasma cell neoplasms (PCN). We present the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM) who developed secondary renal plasmacytoma after an eight-year remission period. Radiological findings on plain CT raised concern for the most common renal malignancy, i.e. renal cell carcinoma (RCC), while further imagining evaluation with MRI suggested renal lymphoma, highlighting the diagnostic challenge of renal plasmacytoma on imagining. A renal mass biopsy confirmed a kappa-restricted plasma cell tumor, emphasizing the need for accurate differentiation between renal plasmacytoma and other renal malignancies to guide appropriate treatment strategies. Increased awareness of such cases can lead to timely recognition and tailored management for this rare entity.
肾浆细胞瘤是浆细胞肿瘤(PCN)一种罕见的髓外表现形式。我们报告了一例62岁男性患者,有复发难治性多发性骨髓瘤(MM)病史,在缓解8年后发生了继发性肾浆细胞瘤。普通CT的影像学表现令人担忧最常见的肾恶性肿瘤,即肾细胞癌(RCC),而进一步的MRI检查提示为肾淋巴瘤,凸显了肾浆细胞瘤在影像学上的诊断挑战。肾脏肿块活检证实为κ轻链限制型浆细胞瘤,强调了准确区分肾浆细胞瘤与其他肾恶性肿瘤以指导适当治疗策略的必要性。提高对此类病例的认识可实现对这一罕见疾病的及时识别和针对性管理。
