Plasmacytomas are rare tumours that develop from B lymphocytes. In 10% of cases the gastrointestinal tract is involved, usually in the small intestine. We report an unusual case of colonic extramedullary plasmacytoma at the splenic flexure. This was an incidental finding in a patient being investigated with right groin discomfort and culminated in resection of the affected splenic flexure. 1 year following resection there is no evidence of disease recurrence. |
