title: Intramedullary plasmacytoma in an unusual location in a renal transplant patient.
abstract: Transplant patients have increased risk for developing neoplasia. This is due to the use of more potent and long-term immunosuppression. We report a case of a 46-year-old man with a cadaver renal transplant who developed an intramedullary plasmacytoma in an unusual location. The patient had a total right elbow replacement and received 4 weeks of local radiotherapy. The pain completely resolved and the low-dose immunosuppression was continued.
