ABSTRACT
Primary plasmacytoma of the uterine cervix is a rare neoplasm with limited known data, and only several cases sporadically reported in the published literature. Radiotherapy might have a role in the treatment of plasmacytoma of the uterine cervix. We describe primary plasmacytoma of the uterine cervix in a 45-year-old woman treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, and also reviewed the literature to evaluate the treatment modality and therapeutic outcome of this rare disease.
