    Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a form of multiple myeloma characterized by lesions not associated with bone marrow.

  • 2

    A 67-year-old male patient with advanced EMP underwent partial cytoreductive surgery after exhausting conventional treatment options.

  • 3

    The surgery successfully removed a large EMP lesion without periprocedural complications, leading to complete wound healing.

  • 4

    Despite the surgical success, the patient's underlying disease progressed, ultimately resulting in his death.

  • 5

    Cytoreductive surgery may be a safe and reproducible option for select EMP cases, complementing conventional treatment.
