Extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rarely diagnosed in children. We report two cases of extramedullary plasmacytoma detected coincidentally in the adenoidectomy specimens of children younger than 4 years. We show that these children are disease-free after local excision as the only treatment. Surgical treatment without anti-neoplastic therapy in pediatric plasma cell dyscrasias of the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue may be a sufficient curative therapy.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite novel therapeutics. A major contributor to the development of relapsed/refractory and resistant MM is extraosseous extramedullary disease (EMD), whose molecular biology is still not fully understood. We analyzed 528 MM patients who presented to our institution between 2014 and 2021 and who had undergone molecular testing.

We report the case of a 60-year-old man diagnosed with unilateral, solitary, extramedullary plasmacytoma located in the right lacrimal sac fossa, with no systemic involvement. This rare plasma cell dyscrasia is usually found in the respiratory tract. Clinical and radiological features of the mass and histopathological results are described.

Rationale: Extramedullary plasmacytoma is an extremely rare malignant clonal plasmacytoma, which can occur in any tissue or organ of the body other than bone marrow hematopoietic tissue. Lesions mostly occur in the head and neck or upper respiratory tract, and rarely in the lower respiratory tract. Primary plasmacytoma of the lung, also known as primary pulmonary plasmacytoma (PPP), is rarer and is mainly diagnosed on the basis of the histopathology of biopsy tissue.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most prevalent hematologic malignancy, particularly affecting the elderly. The disease often begins with a premalignant phase known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), solitary plasmacytoma (SP) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Multiple imaging modalities are employed throughout the disease continuum to assess bone lesions, prevent complications, detect intra- and extramedullary disease, and evaluate the risk of neurological complications.

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare malignant tumor belonging to the family of plasma cell proliferation. It accounts for a small portion of plasma cell tumors and remains a rare condition. We report three cases of rare extraosseous plasmacytomas in young patients.
