Summary
Solitary plasmocytoma, a rare plasma cell disorder, can manifest in soft tissues. This case highlights successful radiotherapy for a primary laryngeal plasmocytoma, with the patient remaining alive.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Hematology
Background:
- Solitary plasmocytoma is an uncommon manifestation of plasma cell dyscrasias.
- Extramedullary plasmocytomas constitute approximately 1% of these cases, with bone involvement being most common.
Observation:
- This report details a rare instance of primary plasmocytoma affecting the larynx.
- The patient presented with a soft tissue extramedullary plasmocytoma.
Findings:
- Radiotherapy was administered as the primary treatment modality.
- The patient demonstrated a positive outcome, remaining alive following treatment.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of considering soft tissue involvement in plasma cell dyscrasias.
- It supports radiotherapy as an effective treatment for laryngeal plasmocytoma.
