title: Solitary plasmacytoma: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of solitary vertebral plasmacytoma that was peculiar in mode of onset and neurological course. The clinical and radiological evidence pointed to a generic diagnosis of epidural osteolytic process while electroimmunophoresis of blood narrowed the diagnosis to spinal plasmacytoma, confirmed at operation.
