Solitary plasmacytoma of the sternum: Diagnosis by computed tomography

We report a large solitary plasmacytoma arising in the sternum of a 62-year-old man. On computed tomography the tumor demonstrated a multilobular appearance associated with bone destruction and expansion and absence of intrinsic calcification. Computed tomography was helpful in determining the size...
