Abstract
Introduction: Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) is a localized neoplasms in the bone consisting of abnormal plasma cells. We herein report an unusual case of SBP that presents in mandible bone.
Case Illustration: A 57-year-old woman, with chief complaint for the lump at right jaw, which gradually increasing in size since 13 years ago. Diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. The patient was referred for radiotherapy before surgery using 50 Gy dose of radiation for 25 times with the result of partial response, followed by hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction with free fibular flap. Complete resection in a form of hemimandibulectomy can eliminate monoclonal proteins in serum, and can reduce the progression of the disease into multiple myeloma. Patient was still in regular visits to oncology surgery clinic in RSCM, with no reccurence of disease after six months of postoperative.
