Abstract
- Abstract: A 46-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of epistaxis. CT and MRI scan showed a soft tissue mass in the left nasal cavity. An excisional biopsy of the mass revealed extramedullary plasmacytoma. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed intense activity in the region of the left nasal cavity but no other FDG-avid lesions. Additional workups did not reveal any evidence of systematic disease. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed as having solitary nasal extramedullary plasmacytoma. He received the local radiation therapy. During the 3-month follow-up, his symptom was relieved.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
