- Abstract: Plasmacytoma is a rare disease entity that represents only 5%‒10% of all plasma cell neoplasms. It is rarely found in the female genital tract. There are 8 identified case reports on plasmacytoma of the cervix. The clinical symptoms are nonspecific and biopsy with immunohistochemistry is used to diagnose. Due to the paucity of cases, there is no standard treatment modality. We present a case of a 34-year-old patient who had a history of postcoital bleeding. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry were done which confirmed the diagnosis of plasmacytoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy with transposition of ovaries was the chosen treatment option.
