Abstract

We report a case of secondary plasmacytoma of the testis. The patient previously had had plasmacytoma of the nasal cavity, and then recurrences occurred in the right ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus, nasopharynx and clavicle before testicular plasmacytoma has developed. This is the 49th case of testicular plasmacytoma reported in the world literature.
