## TL;DR

A rare case of maxillary plasmacytoma in a young patient is presented, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the unusual presentation in a young patient and the emphasis on early diagnosis to prevent progression.

## Key findings

- Maxillary plasmacytoma is rare in young patients and requires histopathological confirmation.
- Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are crucial to prevent progression to multiple myeloma.

## Abstract

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the maxilla is a rare tumor to be in young patients. Accurate diagnosis requires histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and exclusion of systemic disease. This case highlights the need for early recognition and long‐term surveillance to prevent its progression to multiple myelomas, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach in managing atypical plasma cell neoplasms.
