A 41yrs old female came to surgery department with a complaint of slow-growing painless mass of 1.0 x0.5 x0.5cm at angle of the mandible. A diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma was made on the basis of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings. Early diagnosis of plasmacytomas is of great importance. Radiotherapy is the common modality of treatment with or without adjuvant chemotherapy. Progression to plasma cell lesion is possible; thus, close follow-up of the patient is essential after the completion of the therapeutic procedure.
