Primary Plasmacytoma of the Kidney
Primary renal plasmacytomas are an extremely rare clinical condition.

The case is presented as a learning point that it is imperative to keep plasmacytic tumours in mind and to include them in the differential diagnosis of anaplastic tumours, even in unusual locations, such as the kidney. |
