Popis: We report the case of a 79‐year‐old female patient previously treated for multiple myeloma that was referred to our hospital due to a growing painless right arm tumor. Imaging and pathology results confirmed the diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient underwent external beam radiotherapy with complete clinical response at follow‐up.
Soft‐tissue extramedullary plasmacytoma are rare and with unpredictable prognosis tumors. Radiotherapy, however, should be considered as the main therapeutic approach for these tumors due to their proven radiosensitivity.
