Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a rare case of testicular extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in a 43-year-old man with multiple myeloma and diffuse systemic involvement refractory to chemotherapy. Multiple myeloma is typically found within the bone marrow and rarely involves other organs and sites. EMPs are most frequently associated with the head and neck region, but in rare cases testicular involvement have been seen. These mimic other causes of testicular swelling and therefore require a full diagnostic workup and management similar to that of any scrotal pathology. Radical inguinal orchiectomy is the treatment of choice with the addition of adjunct or salvage radiation therapy if necessary. The prognosis with these lesions is poor and in cases of primary testicular plasmacytoma, progression to multiple myeloma is likely.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
