Plasmacytomas are malignant tumours characterised by abnormal monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. They may be osseous or may arise from soft tissues. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) accounts for only 1% of all head and neck malignancies. Septal plasmacytomas are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old male patient with alocalised plasmacytoma arising from the nasal septum, which was resected endoscopically, with post-op radiotherapy and no recurrence in 1 year of follow-up. A multidisciplinary approach is required for the optimal diagnosis and management. It is essential to exclude any systemic involvement before arriving at a diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma. Depending on lesion resectability, a combined therapy is the treatment of choice.
浆细胞瘤是一种以浆细胞异常单克隆增殖为特征的恶性肿瘤。它们可以是骨源性的,也可以起源于软组织。髓外浆细胞瘤(EMP)仅占所有头颈部恶性肿瘤的1%。鼻中隔浆细胞瘤极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例80岁男性患者,其鼻中隔出现局限性浆细胞瘤,通过内镜切除,术后进行放疗,随访1年无复发。最佳诊断和管理需要多学科方法。在诊断孤立性浆细胞瘤之前,排除任何全身受累情况至关重要。根据病变的可切除性,联合治疗是首选治疗方法。
