Solitary plasmacytoma accounts for a small percentage of plasma cell neoplasms. The disease often affects older people and is potentially curable. Only a few cases of solitary jaw plasmacytoma have been described in the literature. Here we report the case of a 76-year-old woman affected by chronic hepatitis C infection and isolated plasmacytoma of the left jaw. Plasmacytoma was diagnosed in January 2001, but the swelling of the mandible had been present since 1993. Two different pathologists made the diagnosis on the basis of biopsy material from the mandibular swelling.
孤立性浆细胞瘤在浆细胞肿瘤中占比很小。该疾病常影响老年人，且有可能治愈。文献中仅描述了少数几例孤立性颌骨浆细胞瘤。在此，我们报告一例76岁女性，她患有慢性丙型肝炎感染及左颌骨孤立性浆细胞瘤。浆细胞瘤于2001年1月确诊，但下颌骨肿胀自1993年就已出现。两名不同的病理学家根据下颌骨肿胀部位的活检材料做出了诊断。
