Abstract
Plasmacytomas are monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor (3-4% of all plasma cell tumors) that forms in soft tissues. The most common site for EMP is the head and neck (HN) region representing 0,4% of all HN malignant tumors. There are no set guidelines for the management of this disease due to it’s rarity. For most of the cases radiotherapy is the standard treatment. We present a case of a 41 years old female diagnosed with extramedullary solitary plasmacytoma of the nasopharinx.
