We present an extreme rare case of extramedullary nasal plasmacitoma that arise from nasal septum. The mass surgically removed was analyzed by a pathologist who diagnosed an extramedullary nasal plasmacytoma. The patient did not present systemic involvement. A short cycle of radiotherapy was performed after the surgery. At 9-month follow-up, the patient is recurrence free.

Article Synopsis
- - Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary growth of immature myeloid cells often found in association with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), typically occurring in lymph nodes, skin, and the head and neck area.
- - A case study is presented involving a 47-year-old woman who experienced various ear-related symptoms and was initially misdiagnosed, but later found to have MS in the temporal bone after further tests.
- - The paper highlights the importance of considering MS in AML patients with vague symptoms, outlines diagnostic methods like CT and MRI, and emphasizes that systemic chemotherapy is usually the best treatment, stressing the need for more research on this rare condition.

Article Synopsis
- Mesenchymal neoplasms in the nasal cavity, such as angioleiomyoma (AL) and angiomyolipoma (AML), are rare tumors that involve vascular, smooth muscle, and adipocytic components, with unclear classifications as hamartomas or true neoplasms due to limited genetic research.
- A multi-institutional retrospective study collected data on 15 nasal cavity lesions, primarily affecting older males with obstructive symptoms, and analyzed tissue samples for genetic features.
- The study discovered that most cases had a high proportion of smooth muscle, with some showing additional components like blood vessels and fatty tissue, while all lesions were positive for smooth muscle markers, indicating their muscular origin.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on plasmacytomas initially diagnosed through head and neck symptoms, analyzing 7 patients admitted to a hospital from 2013 to 2022 for better understanding of the condition.
- Patients were diagnosed via histopathology, with lesions in areas like the nasopharynx and nasal sinuses, and many presented with atypical symptoms and metastasis.
- Treatment varied, with surgery being common, and individualized approaches post-surgery showing promising outcomes, indicating early detection could improve survival rates despite the overall risks associated with plasmacytomas and multiple myeloma.
