Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare plasma cell malignancies, particularly outside the upper aerodigestive tract. A 90-year-old male presented with a penile mass suspicious for penile carcinoma. Pathology revealed the tumor to be an Epstein-Barr virus-associated plasmacytoma with no radiographic evidence of bone or other soft tissue involvement. There was no laboratory evidence of multiple myeloma.

Primary solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells outside the bone marrow. The tumor rarely occurs in the sinonasal tract, accounting for about 4% of all non-epithelial sinonasal tumors. Herein, the authors describe a rare case of sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytoma in a 33-year-old man who presented with a 3-month history of progressively increasing nasal mass, causing obstruction.

Abdominal multiple extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare disease. CD38-negative relapsed/refractory EMP after treatment with daratumumab has never been reported. In 2020, a patient with jaundice was diagnosed with plasmacytoma in another hospital, which progressed one year after receiving multiline therapy.

Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) are uncommon solitary tumors composed of neoplastic plasma cells occurring outside the bone. These lesions are of clinical significance due to their potential progression to multiple myeloma (MM), a more systemic and serious plasma cell malignancy. Although EMPs primarily arise in the head and neck region, cases involving the oral cavity are particularly rare.

Introduction And Importance: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a rare plasma cell neoplasm, constituting around 3 % of plasma cell malignancies. SEP typically presents as a single tumor, either in bone or soft tissue, without systemic disease, and is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific symptoms. Diagnosis requires biopsy and extensive imaging studies to exclude multiple myeloma and other malignancies.

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.
