'Indolent' plasmacytoma.
A patient presented with lethargy, nausea and diarrhoea and had a 10-year history of neurological symptoms in his legs. He was found to have renal failure. Investigations demonstrated a longstanding plasmacytoma of the sacrum and progression to myeloma. Such an indolent course for plasmacytoma is rare. A review of the clinical case and management of solid plasmacytomas is presented.
