The authors present a study on 7 cases of extramedullary plasmocytoma localized in E.N.T. area, hospitalized and solved in the E.N.T. Department of the the "Sf. Spiridon" Universitary Hospital, in the last 15 years, between 1983-1997. We insist on the last solved case, presenting a double isolated localization, a laryngeal and a rhinosinusal one. We consider that the most indicated treatment in the isolated extramedullary plasmocytoma, is the radiosurgical therapy with a good rate of survival.

Introduction: Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors characterized by a local increase of malignant plasma cells in soft tissue or bone and may occur anywhere without evidence of systemic disease. The aim was to focus on the main surgical techniques and outcomes for this rare chest wall tumor.
Methods: Patients with solitary plasmacytoma involving a rib, who were operated for diagnostic or treatment purposes between 2018 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Localized light chain amyloidosis is considered to be a plasmacytic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder caused by antigenic induction. A hypothesis has been proposed that antigen-induced local plasmacytic B cells produce amyloidogenic proteins that are processed into amyloid fibrils in giant cells leading to amyloid fibril deposition. However, the inciting antigen exposure or immune response that signals plasmacytic B-cell infiltration, activation, and selection, is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnostic imaging confirmed the mass as a plasma cell tumor, and after a successful endoscopic surgery to remove it, the patient showed significant improvement and was discharged quickly.
- * The report emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic processes for patients with obstructive bronchial masses and suggests that early detection and treatment of plasmacytoma can lead to better patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of regular follow-ups to prevent recurrence.
