Abstract

Amyloidoma is a rare complication of plasmacytoma, that can involve the spine and present with compressive neurological symptoms. It is usually a diagnosis of exclusion, and is difficult to differentiate from other plasma cell disorders on imaging. Definite diagnosis requires a tissue biopsy. The treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach, with input from haematology, neurology, neurosurgery, and radiology for the optimum course of action, depending on the patient’s comorbidities and performance status. The authors hereby present a case of solitary sacral amyloidoma in a 52-year-old African American female. Only three other cases of solitary sacral amyloidoma have been reported in the literature.
