We want to thank our colleagues for this letter and for the great interest they have expressed.1,2 We agree that the diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma is an important point; therefore, we followed the recommendations for diagnosis and treatment.3-5 We included only solitary plasmacytomas that were confirmed histologically with a biopsy and clinical workup and were absent of any features of multiple myeloma, according to guidelines.4 In particular, bone marrow biopsies were systematically performed to eliminate multiple myeloma (MM) at diagnosis and in the event of suspected myeloma progression or relapse of a new solitary plasmacytoma.
