GIL AGRAMONTE, Mildrey et al. Pediatric solitary bone plasmacytoma: a rare entity. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.3, pp. 102-107. ISSN 1561-2996.

Plasmacytoma in the pediatric age group is rare. We present a 14-year-old girl admitted with a flaccid quadriplegia associated with a tumor at the level of the skull and cervical spine. In the histological study plasmacytoma was diagnosed in both sites without bone marrow infiltration. The patient was treated with radiation and chemotherapy. After three years a new lesion on the left ovary was found, which histologically coincided with the initial diagnosis. Solitary bone plasmacytoma is described as the most common in pediatric patients prone to tumor recurrence.

Palabras clave : Plasmacytoma; solitary bone plasmacytoma; cervical spine.
