Radiotherapy vs Surgery for Survival and Locoregional Control of Head and Neck Extramedullary Plasmacytoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024:2823071. [PMID: 39207749 PMCID: PMC11362973 DOI: 10.1001/jamaoto.2024.2597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Importance There are significant gaps in the literature pertaining to the locoregional control and survival rates of extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) with respect to various treatment approaches. Objective To systematically evaluate the differences in radiotherapy and surgical outcomes in EMP. Data Sources Databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and ScienceDirect were systematically searched from their inception up to November 2023. Study Selection Articles reporting radiotherapy and surgical outcomes of head and neck EMP were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis A random-effects model for meta-analysis was used to obtain pooled estimates and calculate hazard ratios for survival and odds ratios for recurrence and progression of EMP. Main Outcomes and Measures Survival, tumor control, and progression rates to multiple myeloma (MM) between radiation therapy and surgery for EMP of the head and neck. Results Of 742 included patients from 12 studies, 527 (71.0%) were male, and the median (IQR) age was 59.1 (53-62) years. A total of 505 patients (68.1%) received radiotherapy only, while 237 (31.9%) underwent surgery-only treatment for EMP. All included patients had an initial diagnosis of EMP without MM. Comparable trends were observed in overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) rates at 2, 3, 5, and 10 years between patients with EMP treated with radiotherapy only and surgery only. Notably, there were no significant differences in recurrence rate (odds ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.20-2.06) between radiotherapy-only and surgery-only treatment. However, radiotherapy-only treatment of EMP was associated with decreased odds of progression to MM compared with surgery (odds ratio, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.1-0.9). Sensitivity analysis revealed that the radiotherapy-only population had significantly better 5-year DFS (hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31-0.96) compared with surgery-only treatment. Conclusions and Relevance This systematic review and meta-analysis provides evidence that patients with EMP receiving radiotherapy had significantly lower chances of progression to MM compared with surgery-only therapy. Additionally, radiotherapy had better 5-year DFS outcomes compared with surgery. Comparable outcomes in terms of overall survival rates, recurrence, and mortality rates were noted between radiotherapy-only and surgery-only EMP treatment groups.

Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Sinonasal Cavity: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics With Readout-Segmented Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Features. J Comput Assist Tomogr 2022; 46:264-268.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with readout-segmented diffusion-weighted imaging (RESOLVE-DWI) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) features of sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytoma (SN-EMP). METHODS The MRI and/or DECT of 10 patients with SN-EMP confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of RESOLVE-DWI were analyzed in 9 patients. The quantitative parameters derived from DECT, including the iodine concentration (IC), effective atomic number, and the slope (k) of spectral attenuation curve, were measured in 3 patients. RESULTS On conventional MRI, typical lesions were well defined (7 of 9), and isointense to the brain on both T1WI and T2WI (9 of 9). Most lesions presented with marked enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1WI without significant necrosis (8 of 9). Notably, multiple flow-void signals were observed in all lesions (9 of 9). On RESOLVE-DWI, the average ADC value was 0.55 × 10-3 mm2/s, and the normalized ADC value was 0.66 ± 0.04. On DECT, the average values of IC, effective atomic number, and slope (k) was 2.7 mg/mL, 8.62, and 3.8, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Some typical MRI features (well-defined mass, isointensity to the brain, marked enhancement without obvious cystic changes, multiple flow voids, and a lower ADC value) strongly suggest the diagnosis of SN-EMP. The quantitative parameters derived from RESOLVE-DWI and DECT may provide more information for the diagnosis of SN-EMP.

Abstract
An extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare neoplasm characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells without features of multiple myeloma. Most EMPs occur in the head and neck region, especially in the aerodigestive tract. We herein report a case of an EMP arising from the nasal inferior turbinate. The mass was surgically removed, and a short cycle of radiotherapy was performed after the surgery. There was no recurrence of the tumor after 1 year of follow-up. These result may be useful for physicians who encounter similar situations in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramedullary plasmacytomas are tumors that develop from plasma cells and rarely express anaplastic features. To our knowledge, there have only been three reported cases of anaplastic plasmacytomas of the sinonasal tract in the English literature. We detail the fourth case. METHODS A 70-year-old male was seen with a 4-month history of nasal congestion, bloody mucous, and left sided nasal obstruction. On positron emission tomography/computed tomography, the lesion was FDG-avid with an SUVmax of 25.1. A biopsy of the lesion and subsequent immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of an anaplastic plasmacytoma. RESULTS The patient is undergoing a 5-week course of curative-intent radiation therapy. CONCLUSION Extramedullary plasmacytomas with anaplastic features are very rare. We highlight the value of thorough histopathological review and detailed immunostains to arrive at a diagnosis of anaplastic extramedullary plasmacytoma.

Abstract
Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare, discrete mass of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells in the soft tissue with no evidence of multiple myeloma. They constitute 3 % of all plasma cell tumors and less than 1 % of head and neck malignancies. A 43 year old lady presented to our clinic with complains of diplopia and headache for 4 weeks. Computed Tomography scan showed a mass lesion in the sphenoid sinus eroding the sinus floor, right wall, basisphenoid and parasellar area. A biopsy of the mass reported as plasmacytoma. Systemic examination revealed no evidence of dissemination of the disease confirming the diagnosis of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient was subjected to 25 fractions of radiotherapy. Here, we report a rare case of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the sphenoid sinus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parasellar plasmacytomas are rare tumors arising from the sellar region that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions involving the sella and clivus. Before surgical pathologic examination, parasellar plasmacytomas have often been misdiagnosed as invasive pituitary adenomas or chordomas owing to the similarity of the clinical presentation and imaging findings. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data from 5 patients with parasellar plasmacytoma who underwent endonasal endoscopic tumor resection in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2008 to January 2018. Their clinical symptoms, radiological features, and treatment modalities and outcomes were summarized. RESULTS We enrolled a total of 5 patients (3 men and 2 women; median age at diagnosis, 54 years; range, 47-61) with parasellar plasmacytoma in the present clinical series. The presenting symptoms mainly included diplopia, headache, and blurred vision. All the patients had undergone endonasal endoscopic surgery combined with adjuvant therapy. After postoperative radiotherapy, complete remission was achieved within a median follow-up period of 41 months (range, 15-120). CONCLUSIONS The differential diagnosis of parasellar plasmacytoma with pituitary adenoma and chordoma should include a thorough endocrine workup, neurological examination, and radiological assessment. Our findings support radiotherapy as the main treatment of choice for parasellar plasmacytoma, given its typical feature of relatively high radiosensitivity. Tumor resection through the endonasal endoscopic approach combined with adjuvant radiotherapy could be the optimal initial treatment strategy in long-term control of the lesion and alleviation of neurological symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extramedullary plasmacytoma in the sinonasal tract or nasopharynx is rare. The aim of the study was to review data on symptoms, clinical findings, treatment and follow-up of plasmacytomas in the sinonasal and nasopharyngeal regions in order to delineate the main clinical characteristics and the optimal management. METHOD Twenty-five patients with sinonasal or nasopharyngeal plasmacytoma, diagnosed and treated at the Helsinki University Hospital during a 39-year period from 1975 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS There were 18 males and 7 females with a median age of 66 years (range, 36-80). Sixty-eight percent received only radiotherapy or (chemo)radiotherapy. Forty-seven percent of them had a complete response to primary radiotherapy and one patient had a complete response after receiving additional brachytherapy. Four patients were treated primarily with surgery only. Two of them had a local recurrence, but were then successfully treated with radiotherapy. Altogether, four patients received a combination of surgery and (chemo)radiotherapy. Forty-four percent were alive with no evidence of disease after a median follow-up time of 78 months. Forty percent died of their disease and 16% died of other causes. CONCLUSIONS Our study supports radiotherapy as a treatment of choice, but for small tumours surgery alone or in combination with radiotherapy may also be considered.

Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) are rare neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of a single B-lymphoid cell clone, arising primarily in the head and neck region. The purpose of this study is to report our experience in the management of EMPs arising in the paranasal sinuses. We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of 7 patients (4 men and 3 women), admitted between 1995 and 2010 for EMPs of the paranasal sinuses-5 within the ethmoid and 2 in the maxillary sinus. Treatment consisted in endoscopic resection followed by external RT. The mean follow-up period is 50 months (range 9-67 months). Local recurrences developed in 2 out of 7 cases. Both recurrences occurred in maxillary EMPs and they underwent salvage treatment-combination of RT and surgery. At the time of analyzing these data 5 patients (70 %) were alive and two (30 %) have died of their disease. A single patient, presenting local relapse at 6 months, died due to the disease at 9 months. One patient progressed to multiple myeloma. Larger controlled clinical trials are necessary to establish an optimal treatment of choice that implies an individualized management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytoma (SN-EMP) is a rare plasma cell neoplasm. Published literature on this tumor largely consists of case reports and case-series with small sample sizes. This study analyzed population-based data on SN-EMP patients to understand demographic and clinical features as well as incidence and survival trends. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried for SN-EMP and other head and neck EMP (HN-EMP) cases from 1973 to 2011. Cases were analyzed to determine patient demographics, initial treatment modality, and survival outcomes. RESULTS Of 778 patients identified with EMP in the head and neck region, 367 patients had SN-EMP and 411 had other HN-EMP. There was a strong male predilection found, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.65:1 in the SN-EMP group and 1.87:1 in the other HN-EMP group. The majority of the patients presented with localized disease in both SN-EMP (84.4%) and other HN-EMP (81.0%) groups. The most common treatment modality reported in this database was surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy in both SN-EMP (46.3%) and other HN-EMP (38.9%) groups, followed by radiotherapy alone (SN-EMP: 40.7%; other HN-EMP: 34.2%). Five-year and 10-year disease-specific survival rates were comparable between SN-EMP (88.2% and 83.3%, respectively) and other HN-EMP (90.0% and 87.4%, respectively) (p = 0.6016 and p = 0.4015, respectively). CONCLUSION This study analyzed the largest cohort of SN-EMP patients to date. There was no statistically significant survival advantage found for any 1 particular treatment modality over other treatment modalities in both SN-EMP and other HN-EMP.

Abstract
Less than 10% of the patients with plasma cell neoplasms present with a solitary plasmacytoma. Though the nasal cavity is a common extramedullary site, the occurrence is extremely rare. Two cases of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the sinonasal region are reported. The first of which is sinonasal plasmacytoma with concomitant HIV, an association that has been reported rarely in literature to date and is matter of much debate. In the second case report, we present an instance of surgical excision of the tumor using KTP 532 laser. The diagnosis was established using immunohistochemical techniques and multiple myeloma workups were negative in all cases.
