Abstract EN

Plasma cell tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare form of localized plasma cell tumor that arises most often in the head and neck region.

We present an unusual case of EMP of the palatine tonsil from a tertiary care university hospital.

We discuss the histopathologic and radiologic evaluation as well as treatment of EMP.
