Abstract
Radiographic findings for a solitary plasmacytoma of the anterior wall of t he maxillary sinus are reported. The diagnostic evaluation for this disease is discussed through use of plain images, computed tomography, and magneti c resonance imaging. The treatment selected was radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revea led bone destruction, though this was not apparent on plain images. T-1-wei ghted magnetic resonance images showed similar or high signal intensity rel ative to muscle; T-2-weighted images showed hyperintensity.
