Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EP) represents a rare category of malignant disease on which there are limited data in regard to diagnosis, staging and therapy. EP - where the clump of abnormal plasma cells occurs outside the bone in soft tissue. These plasmacytomas most commonly occur in the head and neck region, particularly in the upper airways (nose, throat and sinuses), but may also be found in the gastrointestinal tract, lymph nodes, bladder, lung or other organs. There is less than a 10% chance of this disease progressing to myeloma.
