title: Plasmacytoma of the ovary: a case report and literature review.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ovarian plasmacytomas are a unique and unusual presentation of extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP). A report of the seventh such case is presented with review of the previous six cases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Surgical and medical staging were performed on the present case. The literature is reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  EMP involving the ovary is usually large at the time of presentation, more likely involving the left side, and without evidence of disseminated disease. As in other plasma cell dyscrasia, IgG paraprotein is more frequently involved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adjuvant treatment for ovarian plasmacytomas is not clearly established; however, if complete surgical resection is achieved and no evidence of multiple myeloma is found, observation should be strongly considered.
