Abstract
Plasmacytoma is an unusual soft-tissue collection of neoplastic monocl onal plasma cells. The most common site of presentation is the upper r espiratory tract, although any site of disease is theoretically possib le. We report the fifth known case of primary urethral plasmacytoma. T his case is unique in that the patient received only radiation as defi nitive treatment and has remained well, without recurrence for more th an 12 years.
