A type of cancer that begins in plasma cells (white blood cells that produce antibodies). A plasmacytoma may turn into multiple myeloma.
A localized tumor of malignant plasma cells, either in a bone or in the other tissues of the body. If there is only one such area of bone involved it is called solitary plasmacytoma. An area outside of bone may be referred to as extramedullary plasmacytoma.
Single tumor comprised of malignant plasma cells that occurs in bone or soft tissue. Patients with a plasmacytoma may develop myeloma.
neoplasm of plasma cells (usually in bone marrow)
a discrete, solitary mass of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells in either bone marrow or a soft tissue site
A collection of abnormal (cancerous) plasma cells forming a mass. This occurs most commonly in the sinuses, upper respiratory tract, or bones.
A collection of plasma cells found in a single location rather than throughout the bone marrow, soft tissue or bone.
A malignant tumor of plasma cells.
malignant tumour of plasma cells, very similar to myeloma - plasmacytomas usually develop into multiple myeloma
Cancer of the plasma cells (white blood cells that produce antibodies) that may turn into multiple myeloma.
A tumor that is made up of cancerous plasma cells.
A lump that forms when myeloma cells gather in one place. See myeloma section.
Plasmacytoma refers to a malignant monoclonal plasma cell tumor growing either in bone or soft tissue.
