Zusammenfassung

Solitäre extramedulläre Plasmozytome sind eine seltene Tumorentität im Kopf-Hals-Bereich. Obwohl diese Tumoren als sehr strahlensensibel gelten und die Bestrahlung oft als Mittel der Wahl gilt, berichten wir von einem Fall eines solitären extramedullären Plasmozytoms der Nase, welches auf eine Radiatio nur unzureichend ansprach, sodass bei Tumorpersistenz eine chirurgische Therapie notwendig wurde. Nach Diskussion aktueller Literatur raten wir bei guter Resektabilität in erster Linie zu einem chirurgischen Vorgehen bei derartigen Tumoren.

Abstract

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas of the head and neck are rare tumors. These tumors are known to be very radiosensitive and therefore radiotherapy is often considered as the treatment of choice. We present the case of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the nose which did not respond sufficiently to radiotherapy, i.e. persistence of the tumor led to surgical treatment. After a discussion of the recent literature we primarily recommend the excision of this type of tumor whenever possible.
