[Clinico-pathological comparative studies in plasmacytoma].

A report is given on frequency investigations in the plasmocytoma in a dissection material of 36,985 cases of the years 1951 to 1971. 107 observations of multiple, nearly exclusively osseous plasmocytomas are evaluated concerning frequency of age and sex, affection of the skeleton as well as correlations between the degree of the histological maturity of the tumour cells and the produced para-proteins as well as the existence of the Bence-Jones-protein. The findings were compared with those of the literature.

The lesions were symmetrical and involved the tegmentum mesencephali, the lamine quadrigemina, the substantia nigra, the tegmentum pontis, the tegmentum of the medulla oblongata, the basal protion of nucl. lentiformis, the ansa lenticularis, the thalamus, the hypothalamus and the gray matter of the spinal cord.
