Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Spine: A Rare Case Managed Successfully with Surgery

Solitary Plasmacytoma (SP)of the spine accounts for 5% of plasmacytoma cases and is considered a rare condition. Many of the patients suffer from myelopathy, approximately 42–71%, where lesions are located in the dorsal spine, more than 25–60%. The ultimate choice between stabilising and irradiating locally or directly is debatable according to the therapy and diagnosis. Relying on institutional expertise and patient results, advocate for different therapies through several centres. Clinical presentation: A 55-year-old patient presented with upper back pain diagnosed with D3-4 SP and was managed successfully with surgery. Conclusion: SP must be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis despite their location. Proteinemia abnormal levels might not always be present but are often seen in clinical settings. Patients, who are mostly misdiagnosed as having spinal Tuberculosis (TB), begin with Anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), which is harmful as it extends the conventional period of therapy. Patients advocate radiotherapy as it shows a decrease in recurrence occurrence.
