title: [Solitary bone plasmacytoma: about 3 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Solitary plasmocytomas are rare, accounting for less than 5% of all plasmocytes proliferations. Its diagnosis is based on the presence of localized tumor of monoclonal plasma cells cytologically identical to those of multiple myeloma, in the absence of other signs of a disseminated form. This study aims to carry out a retrospective study of three cases of solitary bone plasmocytomas associated with a detailed review of the literature describing the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolving characteristics of this rare entity.
