  • Title: Head and neck manifestations of plasma cell neoplasms.
    Author: Nofsinger YC, Mirza N, Rowan PT, Lanza D, Weinstein G.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1997 Jun; 107(6):741-6. PubMed ID: 9185729.
    Abstract:
    Multiple myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma of bone, and extramedullary plasmacytoma are plasma cell neoplasms. They represent distinct manifestations of a disease continuum, whereby the clinical findings are critical to diagnosis. Plasma cell neoplasms are histologically similar, and distinguishing one from the other has significant implications for treatment and survival. Plasma cell neoplasms are relatively unusual malignancies of the head and neck region. We present a case series of plasma cell neoplasms involving the skull base, paranasal sinus, larynx, and mandible as an introduction to a complete review of the literature on plasma cell neoplasms of the head and neck area.
