Extramedullary plasmacytoma manifesting as a palpable mass in the nasal cavity.

Jochen P Windfuhr1, German Ott.   

Abstract

We report a rare case of plasmacytoma of the nasal cavity in a 60-year-old man. The patient had a history of a steadily growing and palpable mass in the opening of the left nostril. The tumor was found to be localized, and it was identified as an extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient underwent therapy with 55 Gy of radiation. Six months following the cessation of radiotherapy, the size of the tumor had not changed. The mass was then completely excised under microscopic vision. Histopathologic examination identified the growth as a plasmacytoma with monotypic light-chain expression. To optimize the management of patients with an extramedullary plasmacytoma of the head and neck, interdisciplinary management is mandatory.
