Extraosseous (extramedullary) plasmacytomas are rare plasma cell neoplasms that can result in an erroneous and/or delayed diagnosis as often they are not considered in the differential diagnosis due to their rarity. Furthermore, the anaplastic type is one of the most difficult to recognize in biopsies. We report the case of a patient with an extraosseous plasmacytoma occluded in the right nostril. Its prompt and accurate diagnosis resulted in early treatment and a good outcome, despite the tumour being anaplastic with the risk of progressing into a plasma cell myeloma. The patient shows no recurrence or disease progression after 10 years of follow-up. Our case highlights the clinical and pathological characteristics of this rare disorder that should be considered in order to improve diagnostic criteria and thus early treatment. We also reviewed the pertinent literature.
