The lesion mostly found in the axial skeleton and have infrequently been   reported to arise in the hand, and usually occur in the distal phalanges. We report the   interesting case of a 75-year-old man who developed a solitary lytic lesion of the   thumb proximal phalanx. This lesion was explored through MR imaging and histologic   examination, and then a final diagnosis of plasmacytoma was determined. He   was treated with fractionated radiotherapy and no complication was detected with   this procedure. The clinical, imaging, and histologic findings of this case are presented   here.
