Although the axial skeleton is most frequently affected, involvement of the shoulder girdle is exceptionally uncommon.  \nWe present the case of a 48-year-old woman who experienced progressive left shoulder pain and noted an enlarging mass over six months. Imaging revealed a large osteolytic lesion in the scapula with extension into surrounding soft tissue. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma. Comprehensive staging, including bone marrow biopsy and 18F-FDG PET/CT (Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography), excluded systemic disease. The patient underwent definitive radiotherapy, receiving 50 Gy (Grays) in 25 fractions via a 3D (threedimensional) conformal technique with careful target delineation. Treatment was well tolerated, with only grade I radiodermatitis reported. Follow-up imaging two months after therapy demonstrated significant lesion regression, partial re-ossification, and reduction of soft-tissue involvement.  \nSBP of the scapula represents a rare clinical entity, and radiotherapy continues to be the treatment of choice, offering excellent local control. Despite favorable local outcomes, long-term monitoring is crucial due to the potential risk of progression to multiple myeloma. Documenting rare localizations contributes toa better understanding of disease behavior and supports tailored management approaches.  \nCategories: Radiation Oncology, Oncology, Orthopedics  \nKeywords: local control, monoclonal plasma cells, radiotherapy, rare localization, solitary bone plasmacytoma  \nIntroduction  \nThe solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is a rare malignant tumor characterized by a clonal proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells, without associated systemic involvement, unlike multiple myeloma. It accounts for less than 5% of plasma cell neoplasms and is distinguished by its unique localization, either in bone (solitary bone plasmacytoma [SBP]) or in soft tissues (extramedullary plasmacytoma [EMP]) .  \nClinically, SBP presents symptoms related to the local tumor mass: pain, swelling, and pathological fractures. The absence of systemic signs such as anemia, hypercalcemia, or renal failure distinguishes SP from multiple myeloma and can sometimes make the diagnosis challenging.  \nThe diagnosis is based on histology, confirming the monoclonal plasma cell proliferation, and on a comprehensive work-up aimed at excluding systemic involv","cbCaiqgcuiBoODfP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqgcuiBoODfP","pdf",13883439,15,"English","# Case Report Overview\n## Presentation and Symptoms\n## Diagnostic Work-up and Exclusion of Systemic Disease\n## Radiotherapy Treatment and Response\n## Clinical Significance and Follow-up Considerations","[{\"question\":\"What is solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) and how does it differ from multiple myeloma?\",\"answer\":\"SBP is a rare plasma cell neoplasm with localized monoclonal plasma cells in bone without systemic involvement.
