Abstract

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone is a rare disease that accounts for only about $3{\sim}5%$ of all plasma cell tumors. Especially, no case of solitary plasmacytoma of a rib origin has been described in the Korean literature. A 54 year old Korean man was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of a lung mass that had been detected on a screening chest radiograph. A tumor with a left 6th rib origin was revealed by the computed tomography(CT) and positive emission tomography (PET-CT); therefore, surgical resection was performed. The histopathological findings of the tumor revealed plasmacytoma of a rib origin. The postoperative screening test revealed no evidence of multiple myeloma. Postoperative radiation therapy was not performed, and no new lesion has been noted during the 2 years of follow up.

고립성 골형질세포종은 형질세포종양의 $3{\sim}5%$를 차지하는 드문 질환이며 특히, 늑골에 발생한 고립성 골형질세포종에 관해 국내에서는 아직 보고된 바가 없다. 54세 남자 한자가 검진 시 시행한 단순가슴 사진에서 폐종양으로 의심되는 병변이 있어 타병원에서 전원되었다. 전산화 단층 촬영 및 양전자 방출 단층 촬영 결과 좌측 6번째 늑골의 종양으로 진단되어 수술적 절제를 하였다. 병리 검사 결과 골형질세포종으로 진단되었으며 술 후 선별검사에서 다발성 골수종의 증거는 없었다. 술 후 방사선 치료는 하지 않았으며 2년째 추적 관찰 중이나 새로운 병변은 발견되지 않았다.
