Extramedullary plasmacytoma: simulating a soft tissue sarcoma of the chest wall.
Extramedullary plasmacytoma occurs infrequently as compared to osseous myoloma. A single case of extramedullary plasmacytoma was seen during the last 10 years whose initial presentation was that of a soft tissue sarcoma of the chest wall. Clinical data along with relevent investigation and treatment results are discussed with a review of the literature.
