Pria 80 tahun dengan tumor ganas dinding dada, laporan kasus

Background: Malignant tumors that form in bone, soft tissue, or cartilage, are called sarcomas. Symptoms of these tumors vary, and may include shortness of breath, chest pain, and swelling around the tumor. Imaging such as X-rays and CT scans can be helpful, although imaging features of the few malignant chest wall tumors that are less specific, knowledge of the typical radiographic manifestations of these tumors can often make it easier for experts to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors and help lead to a more specific diagnosis. Case presentation: An 80-year-old man complains of a lump in the right chest. The results of laboratory tests showed anemia, decreased kidney function, and hypercalcemia. The CT scan of the thorax with contrast showed a solid mass in the right pleural cavity infiltrating the surrounding chest wall muscles, bilateral pneumonia, and osteolytic lesions on the spine suspected of being a metastatic process or spreading malignancy. The results of the biopsy showed a diffuse morphological appearance of immature plasma cells with an approach to the diagnosis of cutaneous infiltration plasma cell myeloma with a differential diagnosis of plasmablastic lymphoma. Conclusion: The results of X-ray imaging and CT scan of the thorax help narrow the differential diagnosis, where there is an image of a tumor on the chest wall with destruction of the surrounding bone and soft tissue and an image of infiltration into the pleura accompanied by multiple osteolytic images of the vertebrae. Assisted by a biopsy (anatomical pathology), the closest diagnosis in this patient is plasma cell myeloma chest wall.
