A rare diagnosis of nasal mass: extramedullary plasmacytoma

Abstract


Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are localized plasma cell neoplasms that occur within the soft tissue. Solitary plasmacytoma of the head and neck is a rare disease entity. They account for 1–2% of all plasma cell growths and have a great predilection for the upper respiratory tract. Males are more frequently affected during the fifth and sixth decades of life. We report a case of maxillary sinus plasmacytoma in an elderly man. Complete resolution of the tumour was seen with radiotherapy.
