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.
