Extramedullary plasmocytoma (EMP), a rare plasma cell cancer, can occur in the maxillary sinus. This case highlights unusual resistance to radiotherapy and severe hyperkalemia, with no signs of disease spread.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extramedullary plasmocytoma (EMP) is a rare malignancy involving plasma cell proliferation outside the bone marrow.
  • Typically, EMP affects the upper respiratory tract mucosa.

Observation:

  • A unique case of EMP presented in the right maxillary sinus.
  • The tumor exhibited resistance to radiotherapy, leading to local relapse.
  • The patient experienced severe hyperkalemia.

Findings:

  • Despite thorough investigation, no evidence of systemic disease dissemination was found.
  • The maxillary sinus EMP demonstrated unusual clinical behavior and treatment resistance.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare presentations of EMP.

  • Understanding resistance mechanisms to radiotherapy in EMP is crucial for treatment optimization.
  • The association with severe hyperkalemia warrants further investigation in similar cases.
