| Abstract |
Extramedullary plasmacytomas account for 4% of all plasma cell tumors and occur mainly in the upper respiratory tract; gastrointestinal system involvement is rare. Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the colon with perforation has not been reported. A 77-year-old woman with a 1-year history of lower abdominal pain and nausea was admitted to our hospital. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a sigmoid tumor with perforation. The patient underwent emergency surgery. Pathological examination led to a diagnosis of plasmacytoma of the colon. The patient did not undergo postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. She has had no recurrence in 14 months of regular follow-up. We have herein described a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma of the gastrointestinal tract with perforation involving the sigmoid colon. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2018.
All research outputs
#18,601,965
of 23,041,514 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Case Reports
#174
of 496 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,665
of 329,124 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Case Reports
#4
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,041,514 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 496 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 0.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,124 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
