Chronic low back pain is a common reason for visiting the doctor and although in most cases it has a mechanical character, 1-5% are of neoplasic origin. Solitary bone plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell tumor located mainly in the spine, causing pain especially in the thoracic and lumbar region. We report the case of a 78 year old woman with chronic back pain and POEMS syndrome, in which a lytic bone image was found in a lumbar radiography corresponding to a solitary bone plasmacytoma confirmed by biopsy.

Keywords : Plasmacytoma; Spine; Multiple Myeloma; POEMS syndrome.
