title: Simultaneous extramedullary plasmacytomas of the vagina and vulva: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: An unusual case of simultaneous plasmacytomas of the vagina and vulva is presented along with a review of the literature on urogenital extramedullary plasmacytoma. The diagnosis in this case was obtained by vaginal cytological smear and later confirmed by histological examination of tumor biopsies. Of the four previously reported cases of malignant plasmacytoma of the vagina, one recurred locally and none was associated with metastases. In the case presented, local recurrence as well as multiple osseous metastases occurred.
