title: Extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction due to plasmacytoma.
abstract: In multiple myeloma, diffuse infiltration of the liver by myeloma cells can result in hepatic dysfunction and enzyme elevation. Discrete plasmacytomas are unusual and seldom disturb hepatobiliary function. We report a patient who developed jaundice due to extrahepatic biliary obstruction caused by an abdominal plasmacytoma.
