Hepatic plasmacytomas: case report and review of imaging features.
Extramedullary plasmacytomas are uncommon and have a better prognosis than disseminated myeloma. We describe the second case of hepatic plasmacytomas (multiple) following a solitary bone plasmacytoma. The imaging characteristics of the few reported cases of these rare hepatic tumours are compared. The value of ultrasound in the assessment of liver lesions is emphasized.
