Extramedullary plasmacytoma of maxillary sinus.

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare tumors that often affect the head and neck region. Diagnosis of solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma can be confirmed only when the presence of systemic disease is excluded by performing clinical, biological, and radiological investigations. Radiotherapy is considered the treatment of choice, surgery being limited to biopsy and to excision of residual disease. We report herein the case of a 62-year-old man with an extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the left maxillary sinus who was referred for chemoradiotherapy.
