A rare case of plasmocytoma of uvulae and carcinoma of larynx
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2008, Vol 62, Issue 2
Abstract
Plasmocytoma solitare is a rare disease of lymphoprolipherative origin. It is usually diagnosed occasionally on ORL departaments because of its close relation to head and neck localisation. Surgical treatment and/or radiotherapy is a treatment of choice. It becomes disseminated after years usually. Carcinoma of larynx is a squamos cell carcinoma of well known ethiology strongly corralated with alcohol and nicotin abuse. There is described a case of patient in this paper, who in a short time of few months developed two neoplasms of different histological origin, but localised in the same region of head and neck: Plasmocytoma solitary of uvulae and carcinoma of larynx. Due to early diagnoses the radical treatment (combined surgery and radiotherapy) was performed. However the extremly short time of follow up do not allow to make the observation of the DFS and OS of the patient.
