Abstract

A 65 years old woman presented with indurative buccal swelling without ulceration. The result of the incisional biopsy disclosed as "plasmacytoma", and a series of radiographic and laboratory tests were rendered to find out if it involved multiorgan or not. Based on those studies, we finally diagnosed the disease as multiple myeloma and planned surgical excision followed by systemic chemotherapy.
