Abstract

Primary extramedullary piasmacytomas (PEMP) are uncommon plasma cell neoplasms that generally occur in the submucosal tissue of the upper airway. Salivary gland PEMP is an extremely rare condition. This report describes a unique case of PEMPin the parotid gland asociated with pulmonary amyloidosis. A review of all salivary gland PEMP's suggests that they behave similarly to PEMP's in other locations. The treatment of choice forlocalized disease is radiotherapy which should include regional lymphatics. Local controlcan be achieved in the majority of cases. The minority of patients develop systemic metastases and die from their disease. Chemotherapy can control disseminated disease and may induce remission.
