title: [Surgical risk in plasmacytoma].
abstract: An increase in postoperative complications (37%) and lethality (24%) has been found in 15 of our patients and 102 mentioned in the literature, all suffering from plasmocytoma. Pathological paraproteins are responsible for disturbances in coagulation, immune system, and renal function. Possibilities of reducing the operative risk are discussed.
