Primary solitary plasmacytoma of the liver – successful treatment with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (Cyberknife®): a case report

Abstract Background Solitary plasmacytoma of the liver is a very rare and aggressive form of plasma cell dyscrasia. To the best of our knowledge, very few cases have been reported without systemic disease. We reported a rare case of hepatic solitary plasmacytoma that successfully responded to fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. Case presentation A 64-year-old white French man had monoclonal gammopathy of the immune globulin G lambda type; he developed a cholestasis and cytolysis with the discovery of a subscapular nodule. A biopsy showed plasma cells and, for several reasons, the decision was made to use the fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy strategy. After 20 months, he is asymptomatic and the immune globulin G component has completely disappeared. Conclusion We suggest considering Cyberknife® radiosurgery as an option for the treatment of hepatic solitary plasmacytoma.
