Solitary plasmocytoma is a rare plasmactic cell tumor occurring in the head and neck. These constitute, less than 1 % of all head and neck malignancies. They must be differentiated from multiple myeloma because a varying percentage may be associated at a later date with the development of multiple myeloma. We describe two cases of plasmocytomas, both in parietal bone. The clinical,diagnosis and therapeutic problems (radiation, surgery or a combination of both) are discussed and reviewed in the literature.
