BACKGROUND: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the parotid gland is a rare condition. Intracytoplasmic Crystalline inclusions in the tumor are even rarer and have been reported only once in the parotid gland. CASE PRESENTATION: We report here, a case of plasmacytoma of the parotid gland with in...

description BACKGROUND: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the parotid gland is a rare condition. Intracytoplasmic Crystalline inclusions in the tumor are even rarer and have been reported only once in the parotid gland. CASE PRESENTATION: We report here, a case of plasmacytoma of the parotid gland with intracellular crystalline inclusions in a 73-year-old woman CONCLUSION: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the parotid gland and crystalline inclusions in the tumor is of rare occurrence. The importance of such a finding with relation to tumor progression, clinical course of the disease or prognosis in general remains to be understood.
