Plasmacytomas are most commonly found in the head and neck region, but can occur in many other locations. They rarely occur in the testis, and are commonly associated with concurrent multiple myeloma at the time of diagnosis. Isolated plasmacytoma of the testis is exceedingly rare, with few cases reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 72-year-old Caucasian man presented with a painless testicular mass treated by orchiectomy. The mass was determined to be plasmacytoma on pathological examination. At the time of diagnosis, our patient did not have multiple myeloma, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy for treatment of his disease.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Isolated plasmacytoma of the testicle is a rare cause of testicular mass, and is seldom reported in the literature. Patients with this disease require careful monitoring because of their high risk of progression to multiple myeloma. The diagnosis of testicular plasmacytoma can be challenging for primary care doctors and urologic specialists. This condition should be in the differential diagnosis in elderly men.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,21]],"date-time":"2011-10-21T18:38:29Z","timestamp":1319222309000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Primary plasmacytoma of the testicle: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Claudia","family":"Berrondo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy E","family":"Gorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald L","family":"Yap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"1866_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1002\/ajh.10174","volume":"71","author":"G Anghel","year":"2002","unstructured":"Anghel G, Petti N, Remotti D, Ruscio C, Blandino F, Majolino I: Testicular plasmacytoma: report of a case and review of the literature.
