چکیده
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is the term for plasma cell tumours which present outside of bone.The plasma cell lesions affecting the head and neck are multiple myeloma, EMP, plasma cell granuloma, and solitary plasmacytoma. EMP has been rarely met in the form of multiple lesions (10 per cent) (1). EMP could be staged according to the spread of the disease: Stage I is disease confined to one site; Stage II includes tumors with local spread or local node involvement; and Stage III cases show metastatic spread (i.e. disseminated disease or myelomatosis) (2).
