Abstract
Solitary plasmacytoma of the bone (SPB) is a plasma cell neoplasm that
usually presents as a lytic lesion mainly localized within the axial skeleton.
The occurrence of SPB in young individuals is exceedingly rare, but has
been sporadically reported before. We report a case of SPB involving
metacarpal bone in a 16-year-old male with a prior history of trauma at the
same site.
