Core Tip

Core Tip: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare disease, accounting for only 7% of all EMPs. Clinical manifestations of EMPs are varied and depend on the location and progression of the tumor. Here, we firstly report a case of intestinal perforation with abdominal abscess caused by EMP of the small intestine in a 55-year-old female patient. Additionally, we discussed the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal EMP after a review of the literature worldwide to provide an overview of this disease.
