A 16-year-old boy presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and histological features of a plasmacytoma. He was found to have lytic bone lesions, a serum IgA M-protein, and elevated beta 2-microglobulin. There was absence of anemia, hypercalcemia, and marrow plasmacytosis. He received local irradiation and 6 courses of chemotherapy comprising vincristine, adriamycin, and dexamethasone given at 4 weekly intervals. This was followed by complete resolution of his disease, and he remains clinically well 5 years after completion of therapy.
