Solitary plasmocytoma of the distal humerus.
A patient presented with chronic shoulder pain from a rare plasmocytoma in the distal humerus that resolved following a pathologic fracture. Staged reconstruction of the elbow after resection of the tumor in the distal humerus resulted in resolution of the patient's elbow and shoulder symptoms.
