We report the case of a 62-year-old male patient with an extramedullary non-secreting plasmacytoma of the right plica ventricularis. Although his skeletal lesions remained stable, the patient developed hoarseness. This was interpreted as mycotic laryngitis and computed tomography showed a tumor of the right plica ventricularis. Differential diagnosis included neoplasms of the larynx, thyroid gland or a lymphoma. After biopsy, however, histology revealed the rare diagnosis of a secondary extramedullary non-secreting plasmacytoma.
