Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a very uncommon neoplasm in the nose and nasal accessory sinuses. This is a report of an unusual case, which we have followed for a period of 12 years, and in which we have operated twice, with a different pathological diagnosis each time. This patient, a 63-year-old white man, was first seen about 12 years ago. He gave a history of being unable to breathe through the left side of his nose. Several years prior to this, he gave a history of having nasal polyps removed from this side. Examination, at this time, showed the left side of the nose to be obstructed with a smooth fibrous tumor, originating from the lateral wall of the nose and adhering to the nasal septum. He was admitted to the hospital, and, under local anesthetic, the tumor was dissected free from the septum and the lateral wall of his nose
