Plasmacytoma Arising in a Pacemaker Pocket

W.R. Hamaker, COL, Maurice E. Lindell, COL, Alphonse C. Gomez, COL, all MC, USA

From the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Service, Department of Surgery, Letterman Army Medical Center, Presidio of San Francisco, CA.

Accepted for publication May 29, 1975.

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.
