“…Affection of the jaws usually leads to pain and non‐specific swelling of the bone. Mucosal alterations, mobility or loss of teeth, decrease in mouth opening capacity, paresthesia of the lower jaw, macroglossia due to deposition of amyloid, haemorrhage or pathological fractures may also be found. In this case, there was a painless increase in the left mandibular molar region with mobility of left mandibular molars.…”

Multiple myeloma is a disease resulting from clonal proliferation of plasma cells. It is the most common primary bone malignancy. The most common clinical signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma include bone pain, fatigue, anaemia, infectious diseases and it is characterized by multiple punched‐out radiolucent lesions. Jaw lesions may be present in the advanced stages of multiple myeloma. Rarely, the oral and maxillofacial lesions can be the first manifestation of the disease. We report a rare case of a 55‐year‐old man who presented with a left mandibular swelling of a duration of 2 months. The panoramic radiograph showed a large destructive radiolucency in the left molar region and the angle of the left mandible. A biopsy was performed and revealed the diagnosis of a plasmocytoma. Further investigations of the patient revealed other osteolytic lesions in other bones, confirming the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

“…Local radiation and chemotherapy may defer MM transformation. Some authorities suggest radiotherapy following surgical excision for the treatment of SP 4. In our cases, the patients were referred to the oncology department for treatment but, unfortunately, one of our patients died before the treatment was finished.…”

Solitary plasmacytoma of the mandible: report of two cases

et al. 2016

Plasma cell neoplasms (plasmacytoma) are discrete, solitary masses of lymphoid neoplastic proliferations of B cells. Plasmacytomas comprise three groups: multiple myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma (SP) and extramedullary plasmacytoma. SP originates as a clone of transformed malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. SP of the jaw is a rare condition; therefore diagnosis is quite difficult and often results in misdiagnosis. MM is a lymphoproliferative disease the prognosis of which is worse than SP. SP can progress to MM in a few months to years after diagnosis. In this regard, early diagnosis of the disease is of utmost importance. This article presents two cases of SP diagnosed in the mandible and documented with clinical, radiographic and histological findings.

“…The male to female ratio of solitary plasmacytoma is approximately 2 : 1, with an average age of 55 years [9, 10]. The localization of solitary plasmacytoma of bone in head and neck is very rare and usually occurs in the sinonasal tract [11].…”

“…The localization of solitary plasmacytoma of bone in head and neck is very rare and usually occurs in the sinonasal tract [11]. Approximately 12% to 15% of solitary plasmacytomas of the bone occur in the jaw and they are commonly involved in the posterior body of the mandible that can extend to angle and ramus [10]. …”

A 46-year-old male patient referred to Department of Oral Medicine, with the primary chief complaint of a painless swelling in the right side of mandibular. A panoramic radiograph revealed a well-defined, multilocular radiolucent bony lesion with thin and straight septa in the right side of mandible extending from distal of canine to mesial of third molar. Histological examination showed a solid proliferation of atypical plasmacytoid cells, which was indicative of plasmacytoma. A systemic workup for the final diagnosis was performed to rule out multiple myeloma.
