Abstract
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is successfully used for imaging malignant plasma cell disorders. Solitary plasmacytoma of head and neck is relatively rare. We report a case of 52-year-old male patient with high 18F-FDG uptake of pathologically proven maxillary sinus plasmacytoma that is uncommon. Our case has demonstrated 18F-FDG PET/CT is useful for showing the extent of the disease that affects treatment management in plasmacytoma.
