Collision Tumors Involving Metastatic Carcinoma and Plasma Cell Myeloma: Report of Two Cases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Synchronous coexistence of plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs) and metastatic carcinoma is not a common phenomenon and poses a significant diagnostic challenge requiring meticulous histopathological and immunophenotypic analysis for accurate lineage assignment. We report two cases of collision tumors comprising PCN and metastatic lung carcinoma. Case 1 involved a 68-year-old male with metastatic non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma who developed intracranial lesions; resection revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma intermingled with clonal plasma cells. Case 2 was a 73-year-old woman with a lytic iliac crest lesion whose bone marrow and lesion biopsies showed diffuse infiltration by both carcinoma and atypical plasma cells. Comprehensive immunohistochemical profiling, in situ hybridization (ISH), and molecular studies were performed. In both cases, histology demonstrated two distinct, intermingled cell populations without transitional features. IHC was critical for confirmation: the carcinoma cells expressed epithelial markers (AE1/AE3), whereas the plasma cell components were positive for CD138. ISH in Case 1 and flow cytometry in Case 2 confirmed clonality (kappa light-chain restriction). The final diagnoses were collision tumors of metastatic non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma with synchronous PCN (Case 1) and metastatic small cell carcinoma with synchronous PCN (Case 2). There are sporadic reports of PCN coexistent in the same lesion with solid tumors. These cases reveal the critical role of the pathologist in diagnosing collision tumors. IHC panel, including cytokeratins, CD138, and MUM1, can help in distinguishing these dual populations and avoiding diagnostic pitfalls.
