Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the hand: a case report.

Plasmacytoma commonly occurs as an interosseous lesion. The soft tissue variant of plasmacytoma has been found infrequently in the feet but not in the hands. We describe a 47-year-old man with extensive involvement of the flexor tendons by a plasmacytoma.

With extensive loss of local soft tissues after resection of a sarcoma, standard closure may not be possible. The large operative defect in this instance may necessitate a free tissue transfer. Use of a vascularized tissue transfer from the leg of the amputated extremity of a patient to close a hemipelvectomy defect is described.
