Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare, discrete mass of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells in the soft tissue with no evidence of multiple myeloma. They constitute 3 % of all plasma cell tumors and less than 1 % of head and neck malignancies. A 43 year old lady presented to our clinic with complains of diplopia and headache for 4 weeks. Computed Tomography scan showed a mass lesion in the sphenoid sinus eroding the sinus floor, right wall, basisphenoid and parasellar area. A biopsy of the mass reported as plasmacytoma. Systemic examination revealed no evidence of dissemination of the disease confirming the diagnosis of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient was subjected to 25 fractions of radiotherapy. Here, we report a rare case of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the sphenoid sinus.
