Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare neoplasm of soft tissue which
usually arises in the respiratory tract, nasal cavity, sinuses and nasopharynx. Multiple
extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rare, especially those that are
not associated with multiple myeloma.We describe multiple primary EMP in a 37
year old man, without involvement of bone or bone marrow. EMP usually has a
good prognosis but our patient survived only 15 months after diagnosis.
