title: [A case of extramedullary plasmacytoma in the radix linguae treated with radiation and chemotherapy].
abstract: A case of extramedullary plasmacytoma in the radix linguae was reported. Although immunological parameters rapidly normalized during the treatment, tumor size slowly reduced to minimal lesion 11 months after radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. The management and the availability of MRI for this tumor was discussed reviewing the literature.
