Abstract
Background
: Extra-medullary plasmacytoma (EMP) forms less than 10% of the overall diagnosis of malignancies related to plasma cells in a solitary manner. Whereas more than 80% of all EMP arise in the upper aero-digestive tract, only about 10% of them are laryngeal.
Case Report
: We hereby report two cases of laryngeal plasmacytomas. One case showed complete resolution but another one showed recurrence despite all measures taken.
Conclusion
: Complete laryngeal examination may help in diagnosis of rare diseases like extra-medullary plasmacytoma.
Keywords :
Larynx, Neoplasm Recurrence, Plasmacytoma, Plasma Cells, Rare Diseases.
