“…Like in this case, immunohistochemical technique revealed positive for CD 138, CD 79a and CD56 with evidence of light chain restriction. Systemic work-up such as serum protein electrophoresis, urinalysis for the Bence-Jones protein, skeletal survey and bone marrow biopsy is vital to exclude multiple myeloma or plasmacytoma of the bone in EMPs 11,12 For this case, bone marrow aspiration cytology, urinalysis for Bence Jones protein and skeletal survey all were negative. There was no evidence of renal failure.…”

Abstract:A 64 year old female with no underlying medical illness presented with 3 months history of unilateral nasal blockage and rhinorrhoea. Nasopharyngeal examination revealed a smooth surface mass in the posterior nasal space. Endoscopic biopsy confirmed the mass to be Extramedullary Plasmacytoma. Investigation pertaining to multiple myeloma revealed no evidence of the disease. The mass was excised endoscopically and the patient completed 25 cycles (50Gy) radiotherapy. Patient had no evidence of recurrence after 6 months follow up.

“…Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare malignant neoplasm arising outside the bone marrow of patients who show no clinical evidence of multiple myeloma (1). Extramedullary plasmacytoma, which can occur in virtually any part of the body, shows a predilection for the head and neck region (2).…”

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the pterygoid fossa

A case of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the left pterygoid fossa is presented, which is an unusual location for such tumors. A 54-year-old male patient was admitted for retro-orbital and left-sided facial pain which had persisted for several months. Physical, nasal endoscopic and optic examinations showed no abnormalities. No palpable cervical lymph nodes were found. MRI revealed a 2-cm mass in the left pterygoid fossa. A biopsy was carried out and the resulting histological evaluation of the mass confirmed a plasmacytoma. A comprehensive work-up, including bone marrow biopsy, total-body skeletal survey, technetium scintigrams, determination of urine Bence-Jones protein and serum myeloma protein, chest radiograph, total blood count and urinalysis, was carried out in order to rule out multiple myeloma. All of these studies were unremarkable in terms of a systemic disease and therefore the patient was diagnosed as having a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the pterygoid fossa. He was referred for radiation therapy, receiving irradiation of 50 Gy for 6 weeks. The clinical manifestations, imaging findings, pathology and treatment procedures of extramedullary plasmacytoma are described, together with a review of the literature.
