Solitary plasmacytomas most often occur in bone, but they can also be found in soft tissues. Case Description: A 53-year-old male presented with localized sacral pain and urinary incontinence. His radiographic studies showed a solitary sacral plasmacytoma (i.e., involving the bone). He was successfully managed with high-dose dexamethasone and microwave ablation (MWA). Conclusion: Plasmacytomas of bone can be occasionally successfully managed with MWA, adjuvant cytoreduction therapy, and high doses of dexamethasone.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/b6ce6a55-c554-4531-8ef0-01905a4ee194/featured/hero-1781560367009.png","publishDate":"2023-04-21T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_1127_2022","categories":["General Neurosurgery","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/b6ce6a55-c554-4531-8ef0-01905a4ee194/pdf"}
