Abstract
Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare condition affecting the jaws which
manifests itself as a single osteolytic lesion without plasmocytosis
of bone marrow and constitutes approximately 3% of all plasma
containing tumors. It is different from multiple myeloma in terms
of its clinical behaviour and prognosis. The most common clinical
presentation is local bone pain and lesion on alveolar ridge and
affects mandible frequently than maxilla. We report a rare case of
solitary plasmacytoma of mandible, diagnosed on the basis of
distinct radiological and histopathological findings, that has been
treated by subtotal hemimandibulectomy. The review of literature
concerning clinical, histological and radiological features, as well
as the proper management concerning this tumour is included.
