Plasmacytoma of the vagina: findings on CT and MR imaging (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the imaging findings associated with plasmacytoma of the vagina using CT and MR imaging techniques. It highlights the rarity of primary malignant neoplasms within the vaginal region, which constitute a small percentage of gynecologic tumors, primarily affecting older women. The case study of a 78-year-old woman with vaginal bleeding and a vulvar mass is presented, where imaging played a crucial role in diagnosing the condition. The importance of differentiating vaginal plasmacytoma from other malignancies, such as cervical carcinoma, is emphasized.
