Myeloma is a tumorous lesion derived from plasma cells that develops in bone marrow.
Among the different types of myeloma, that localized to 1 bone, such as the spine or jaw, is referred to as solitary plasmacytoma.
Few studies have reported solitary plasmacytoma arising in the mandible.
The authors describe their experience with a case of IgG-κ type solitary plasmacytoma that developed in the right side of the mandible.
The patient was a 42-year-old man who presented with an abnormal sensation at the molar region of the right side of the mandible.
A diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma was established on the basis of X-ray findings, biochemical and serological data, and pathological examinations. The patient received hemimandibulectomy of the right side of the mandible and postoperative radiotherapy.
The postoperative course has been uneventful as of 8 years 7 months after operation. There has been no evidence of progression to multiple myeloma or local recurrence.
The patient will continue to undergo careful long-term follow-up.
