“…Fatigue or fever are the most common systemic symptoms (5-7). Radiographically SBP is seen as a well defined uni or multilocular lytic lesion without periosteal reaction (4), or as a protruding mass with cortical expansion (6).CT, MRI and more recently PET, are useful to establish the characteristics of the lesion and tissues involved and to rule out other affected areas (4,7). Diagnosis is based on the presence of malignant proliferation of plasma cells in the biopsy, absence of further osteolytic bone lesions (mainly, in the iliac crest and sternum), histologically normal marrow aspirate and absence or low concentrations of serum or urine monoclonal protein.…”

“…Localized forms of plasma cells neoplasms are solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) and extramedullary plasmocytoma (EMP), multiple myeloma (MM) is the disseminated type of this disorder (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). In the maxillofacial area plasmocytoma may be divided into different clinical forms: a manifestation of disseminated disease (MM), a solitary lesion in the soft tissues (often in the parotid gland) or a solitary bone lesion with or without invasion of local structures (as in the case presented) (6)(7)(8).…”

Plasma cell tumors are lymphoid neoplasms with an uncontrolled proliferation of B cells. These are divided into localized forms (solitary bone plasmocytoma -SBP-and extramedullary plasmocytoma -EP-) and disseminated forms (multiple myeloma-MM-). The SBP is a rare and controversial disease. The aim of this article is the analysis of this entity based on the presentation of a 64-year-old man without previous medical history, with a mass in the left mandibular angle extending to the parotid region on the same side. The panoramic radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an osteolytic lesion 6.5 x 5 x 6.7 cm in the mandibular angle with infiltration of the masticator space and left parotid region. The normality of the extension study, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of SBP. The patient received treatment with radiotherapy with good outcome.

“…Solitary plasmacytomas is seen in 10% of plasmacytomas and is classified as SPB and EMP. Plasmacytoma of bone is twice as common as EMP [9]. EMP as such is a rare occurrence accounting for only 3% of plasma cell tumours and has a male predilection with male: female ratio being (4:1) [ Our case presents multiple EMP one in the neck and the other in the gingiva and is in itself a rare entity.…”

“…Multiple Myeloma is a systemic disease and is characterized by neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal immunoglobulin(M protein). It is a disseminated disease involving many bones [9]. Incidence of MM is below 1% of all malignancies and 10% of all haematological neoplasm.…”

“…EMP presenting as multiple subcutaneous soft tissue masses on the neck and the oral cavity as in our case is rare. Chronic stimulation of inhaled irritants and constant upper respiratory tract infections are postulated to have some relation to EMP occurring in the aero digestive tracts [9]. Overdose irradiation,viruses, gene interaction especially in the reticuloendothelial system have been suggested as etiological factors [5].…”

A 65-year-old female of Indian origin visited the Out Paitent Department of M.R. Ambedkar dental college, Bangalore (India) in the year 2007 with a complaint of a growth in her lower jaw front teeth region since four months. It started as a small growth which gradually increased to the present size and the patient had no other associated symptoms like pain, difficulty in chewing, speech or deglutition. No treatment was taken for the same. She also noticed a swelling in the neck two months prior to the onset of the intra oral swelling and was also not associated with any symptoms of that or any other similar lesions anywhere in the body [Table/ Fig-1].On general examination a solitary swelling was found on left side of the neck, approximately measuring about 2cm in diameter. Its borders were not well demarcated. Inferiorly it was 3cm above the clavicle, medially about 4cm away from the midline and superiorly it up extended to the level of the thyroid cartilage. Skin over the swelling appeared to be normal. On palpation inspectory findings were confirmed. There was no local rise of temperature. It was soft in consistency, non-tender and skin over the swelling was pinch able. Lymph node examination revealed sub mental and right submandibular lymph nodes palpable, about 0.5cm diameter, firm, fixed and non tender.
