Abstract

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare form of plasma cell dyscrasia. The purpose of this article is to present a case of solitary plasmacytoma involving the calcaneus, and only a few cases involving the same site have been published. The case is clinically presented with swelling and localized pain, which was initially treated as cellulitis. Image studies of X-ray, bone scan, and computed tomography found osteolytic lesions over the calcaneus. Operative tumor excision was done. The result of pathology was solitary plasmacytoma and then the patient received adequate therapeutic treatment.
