A 63-year-old man with cavernous sinus involvement from extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the sphenoid sinus is described. Transient resolution of retro-orbital headache and continued progression of the locally extensive tumor were noted after chemotherapy was given following a poor response to 5400 cGy of local irradiation. To determine whether adjunctive chemotherapy will improve the outcome of these particular patients, we propose that a randomized trial comparing radiotherapy to chemoradiation be conducted.
