Abstract
In this report we present an interesting rare case of solitary plasmacytoma of the scalp without bony erosion in a 52 year female. The clinicians suspected it to be a malignant tumor, but didn’t come to a conclusion as the radiological and clinical findings were not very useful. Hence, the patient was sent to the cytopathology section of Department Of Pathology to pursuit a diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was used as the first line of investigation in this case.
Key words- Extramedullary Plasmacytoma, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.
