Extramedullary plasmacytomas are very uncommon tumors, may occur commonly in the upper respiratory passages. These are rarely seen in the middle and lower gastrointestinal system and exceptional to originate in the esophagus. We present a novel case of a 65-year old man who presented with dysphagia and weight loss. After taking detailed clinical history and physical examination endoscopy was performed that showed an ulcero-proliferative lesion involving the lower third of esophagus. Histopathological examination revealed sheets of malignant plasma cells, some with prominent nucleoli. Immuno-histochemistry could not be done due to unavailability. A bone marrow biopsy was performed which was negative for involvement. This is a rare case of esophageal plasmacytoma diagnosed on endoscopy in a patient presenting with dysphagia.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
