Abstract
A case of plasmocytoma of the lumbar spine verified by necropsy is reported. A male aged sixty-four years had distructive lesion of the lumbar spine (L1, L2) with paraplegia in the early stage.
A mass in the abdomen was palpable, proved to be extended from lumbar lesion on autopsy.
Necropsy showed very rare dual tumor, Glioblastoma Multiforme with plasma cell infiltration in the left temporal lobe.
There was no marked plasma cell infiltration on the other organs and no remarkable amyloidosis.
The Tumor was a γ-A Myeloma. This is a relatively rare case of Myeloma metastatic to the nervous system.
