title: [Solitary plasmacytomas in the head area. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations].
abstract: Based on two case reports the inherent problems of diagnosis and treatment of this rare tumor are discussed. The importance of a complex immunohistologic and immunochemical analysis of the monoclonal immunoglobulin produced by the tumor is emphasized. Determining the serum level of the immunoglobulin is decisive for establishing the necessary treatment strategy. Apart from the tumor-specific aftercare by a specialist, these patients always require additional treatment at an immunology clinic.
