Breast J. 2002 Nov-Dec;8(6):393-5. doi: 10.1046/j.1524-4741.2002.08613.x.

Abstract

Plasmacytoma of the breast is a rare condition that may occur as a solitary finding or in association with multiple myeloma. Of the cases of plasmacytoma of the breast that have been described, nearly half have been bilateral. We report a case of bilateral plasmacytoma of the breast detected on a routine screening mammogram in a patient with a recent diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
