    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell tumor that can occur in various locations, including the thyroid gland.
    • Primary thyroid plasmacytoma is exceptionally uncommon, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old male presented with a primary thyroid plasmacytoma.
    • Immunohistochemistry confirmed intracytoplasmic monoclonal immunoglobulin (IgG-kappa) in tissue sections.
    • Serum immunoelectrophoresis identified a monoclonal IgG-kappa component.

    Findings:

    • Histologic diagnosis of plasmacytoma was established.
    • Skeletal surveys and bone marrow biopsies were unremarkable, ruling out systemic involvement.
    • The patient received postoperative radiation and drug therapy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful management of a rare primary thyroid plasmacytoma.
    • Multimodal treatment including radiation and drugs can lead to favorable outcomes.
    • Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for managing thyroid plasmacytoma.
