Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The most common manifestation of plasma cell neoplasms is multiple myeloma. Solitary and localized tumours in the form of solitary plasmacytoma of the bone or extramedullary plasmacytoma are rare. In the late stages of multiple myeloma, bulky bone tumour infiltrates may be found which may be the primary clinical manifestation of the previously unknown malignancy. We report a case of a hyoid bone tumour with extramedullary plasma cell infiltrates in the oropharynx in multiple myeloma.
