ABSTRACT
Los plasmocitomas extramedulares son neoplasias infrecuentes de células plasmáticas que se presentan fuera de la médula ósea. Un 80% se localizan en el tracto respiratorio superior, pero es poco frecuente la localización gastrointestinal. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 65 años, asintomático, en el que se detectó una masa pancreática de forma incidental, comprobándose por punción-aspiración con aguja fina y posterior resección quirúrgica que se trataba de un plasmocitoma pancreático. No se encontraron evidencias (clínicas, analíticas ni radiológicas) de afectación por mieloma múltiple ni asociación con otros plasmocitomas, por lo que se diagnosticó de plasmocitoma pancreático primario (AU)
Extramedullary plasmacytomas are uncommon malignant plasma cell tumors that present outside the bone marrow; 80% of extramedullary plasmacytomas are located in the upper respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal plasmacytomas are rare. We present the case of an asymptomatic 65-year-old man in whom a pancreatic mass was found incidentally. The lesion was determined to be a pancreatic plasmacytoma after fine-needle aspiration cytology and surgical resection. No clinical, laboratory, or imaging findings indicative of multiple myeloma or association with other plasmacytomas were found, so the tumor was considered to be a primary pancreatic plasmacytoma (AU)
