The tumor cells are not those seen in multiple myelomas/plasmacytomas. Instead, they have epithelial appearance with plump cytoplasm. If this is midline with destruction of underlying vertebral bone, I raise the possibility of chordoma. Please provide more information - age of the patient, where in the back is the current tumor, is it involving vertebral column in the midline, is the "myeloma" previously diagnosed at the same location, how long ago has the myeloma been diagnosed, was it ever treated by radiation, what was the clinical response to radiation therapy, etc.
