Plasmacytoma as the Initial Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report

Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We report an unusual case of a woman who presented with nonspecific symptoms of unilateral facial mass and bleeding from her lower lip over several weeks. The mass was found to be relatively fixed and irregular with destruction of facial bone as evidenced by imaging. Initial investigations indicated the possibility of multiple myeloma, which was later confirmed with serum protein electrophoresis and bone marrow biopsy. Cervical lymph node biopsy confirmed presence of plasmacytoid cells positive for CD 20.
