A Solitary Bone Plasmacytoma In the Mandible: A Case Report

Abstract

Solitary bone plasmacytoma is a localized neoplasm in the bone consisting of abnormal plasma cells. We herein report an unusual presentation of solitary bone plasmacytoma in the mandible. A 57-year-old woman with the lump at the right jaw, which was increased gradually for 13 years. The diagnosis build based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. She underwent radiotherapy before surgery using a 50 Gy of irradiation for 25 times results in a partial response. A hemimandibulectomy proceeded, followed by immediate reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular flap. Complete resection may eliminate monoclonal proteins in serum and reduce disease progression into multiple myeloma. The patient remains to follow up regular visits to the oncology surgery clinic in RSCM, with no recurrence of disease in six months postoperative.
