Background: The plasma cell neoplasms may present in soft tissue as extramedullary plasmacytomas, in bone as a solitary plasmacytoma of bone, or as part of the multifocal disseminated disease multiple myeloma. The aim of study is to report solitary plasmacytoma in the oral cavity in a male patient. Case Report: A 65-year-old male was presented to our Clinic with hypertension, high fever and loss of balance. He had nine months ago one localized lytic lesion in his thoracic vertebrae T5. The clinical reports showed multiple myeloma for him. After that, He received melphalan and thalidomide for two months. The patients referred to Clinic again with a new oral lesion. In his treatment follow-up and biopsy from his new oral lesion, pathologist reported plasmacytoma. He was treated with radiotherapy(5.000 cGy), than received maintenance consisted of thalidomide 50 mg (VAD). He died after three months from treatment with VAD. Conclusion: The SPB is as part of the multifocal disseminated disease MM. Also, radiotherapy (5.000 cGy) and VAD are not optimal treatments for SPB.
