Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) occurs as a result of abnormal proliferation of plasma cells outside the bone marrow. Breast plasmacytomas are rare. Radiologically, they can be confused with benign and malignant lesions of the breast. It is important to be able to diagnose EMP in the breast since the treatment strategy is different from that of other lesions and allows for the diagnosis and early treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) relapse. We report imaging and clinicopathological findings of an EMP case in which a 65-year-old patient with MM in remission presented with breast masses. Keywords: PET/CT, plasmacytoma, breast, ultrasonography, mammography Ekstramedüller plazmositom (EMP), plazma hücrelerinin kemik iligi disinda anormal proliferasyonu sonucu meydana gelir. Meme plazmositomu nadir görülür. Radyolojik olarak memenin benign ve malign lezyonlariyla karisabilmektedir. Memede EMP tanisini koyabilmek önemlidir, çünkü diger lezyonlarla tedavi stratejisi farklidir ve multipl miyelom (MM) relapsinin taninip erken tedavisine olanak saglar. Bu yazida 65 yasinda MM tanili hastanin meme lezyonuyla prezente oldugu EMP olgusunun görüntüleme ve klinikopatolojik bulgulari sunulmustur.
