The details of 16 patients with extramedullary plasmacytoma are presented. All but one presented with localized disease, and all were treated successfully by radiotherapy. Only one patient developed local recurrence and only one has developed disseminated disease. Radiotherapy is recommended as the primary treatment of choice for these localized radiosensitive tumors. It is suggested that the good prognosis of plasmacytomas of the head and neck, in contrast to plasmacytomas arising at other sites, is related to the observation that a high proportion of these tumors are localized at the time of diagnosis and that very large primary tumors are uncommon.
本文介绍了16例髓外浆细胞瘤患者的详细情况。除1例患者外，其余均表现为局限性疾病，且均通过放射治疗成功治愈。只有1例患者出现局部复发，仅有1例发生播散性疾病。对于这些局限性放射敏感肿瘤，建议将放射治疗作为主要的首选治疗方法。与其他部位发生的浆细胞瘤相比，头颈部浆细胞瘤预后良好，这可能与以下观察结果有关：这些肿瘤在诊断时大部分为局限性，且非常大的原发性肿瘤并不常见。
