Abstract
A 48-year-old man developed a plasmacytoma in the subcutaneous pocket of a titanium covered pulse generator that had been inserted sixteen months previously. The tumor represented a cutaneous manifestation of myelomatosis. The presence of a pacemaker may affect the detection and treatment of tumors arising in the region of pulse generator pockets. Possible cause-and-effect relationships are explored.Entities:
