Core Tip

Core Tip: We present a case of solitary bone plasmacytoma on the C2 with follow-up of 3 years. The patient underwent anterior one-stage debridement combined with cement augmentation. The results of this case provide a choice for surgical treatment of solitary bone plasmacytoma. They also show that radical surgery without radiotherapy is a rational choice for treating solitary bone plasmacytoma with spinal instability.
