Abstract Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell proliferative disorder with a predilection for the head and neck region.
Categorisation of lesions according to the level involved (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral) and according to the compartments involved, in combination or singly (extraspinal, vertebral, intraspinal extradural, intradural extramedullary and intradural intramedullary), is routinely performed with the aim of narrowing the differential diagnosis.
