Abstract
ROMBOLA, C. A.; LEON ATANCE, P.; MUNOZ SANCHEZ, M. M. and ALIX TRUEBA, A.. Isolated plasmacytoma of the sternum: presentation of a case and review. Oncología (Barc.) [online]. 2006, vol.29, n.9, pp.34-37. ISSN 0378-4835.
The localization of plasmacytoma in the sternum is exceptional. A patient suspected of having a sternal manubrium tumor, without a clear diagnosis despite a fine needle aspiration biopsy and an incision biopsy is presented. A wide margin resection of the lesion and reconstruction with a polypropylene mesh were undertaken. The results were satisfactory. A review of the literature is made.
