ROLE OF CT AND MRI IN SOLITARY EXTRAMEDULLARY PLASMACYTOMA OF THE NASAL CAVITY
Abstract
characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells.
Most lesions occur in the head and neck, primarily in the
upper aerodigestive tract. The nasal cavity and nasal septum
is the common sites of occurrence in head and neck. In this
case report one patient of age 48 admitted in our hospital
with history of nasal obstruction and anosmia. Patient
underwent investigations including CT, MRI and diagnosed to
have extramedullary plasmacytoma and confirmed with
histopathology and immunohistochemistry. And the patient is
on combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The clinical
and histopathologic findings of plasmacytoma are discussed.
In order to exclude systemic involvement, systematic
approach using clinical, laboratory, and radiologic
investigations was performed. Extramedullary plasmacytoma
of the nasal cavity is very rare, it should be considered
as one of the differential diagnosis in nasal cavity mass
lesion especially in adult age group
