| Popis: | This paper is a review of the clinical experience with plasmacytoma of the upper respiratory passages seen in the Department of Radiotherapy at our institution from 1947 to 1976. Seven patients are discussed. A tumor mass was present at diagnosis in all patients. 27 presented with cervical lymph adenopathy. 17 had cervical lymph adenopathy 4 years after diagnosis, coincidental with wide spread metastases. All patients were treated primarily with radiation following biopsy and histologic diagnosis. Two patients had partial excisions, and two patients received chemotherapy. Follow-up extends from 4 to 23 years. 67 were free of disease at last evaluation, and 17 died of disseminated disease 9 years after initial treatment. |
