C90.30: Solitary plasmacytoma Without mention of complete remission
You have a disease of the immune cells. This disease is one of the cancers. This disease is also called plasmacytoma.
The tissue in the body is made up of cells. With cancer, the cells multiply uncontrollably, which leads to a malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) developing. The cancer cells can destroy the healthy tissue and spread throughout the body.
In your case, a type of immune cell is dividing uncontrollably. These diseased immune cells produce too much of one sort of immune cell, but they do not work. In your case, the diseased immune cells have only accumulated in one area of the body.
Not every cancer is the same. There are cancers that develop quickly. You may then quickly feel seriously ill. But there are also cancers that progress slowly. You may then feel generally unwell or weak, or even have no symptoms at all to start with. This disease can damage various organs.
