Abstract
BACKGROUND: Head and neck solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare plasma cell neoplasms. Literature review reveals only small numbers of reports. The objective was to review our experience with treating patients with this neoplasm. METHODS: A retrospective chart review between 1960 and 2000 was performed. Sixty-eight patients with head and neck extramedullary plasmacytomas were included. RESULTS: The sinonasal tract was the most common site. Thirty-nine patients were treated with radiation, 8 with surgery, 14 with surgery and radiation, and 3 with chemoradiation. Median follow-up was 8 years. The 5-year local recurrence-free rate (LRFR) was 81%. There was a trend toward improved LRFR in patients treated primarily with radiation. Regional recurrence at 5 years was 5%. Multiple myeloma developed in 23% of patients. The 5-year survival was 76%. CONCLUSIONS: Radiation is the treatment of choice with surgery reserved for large tumors and extensive bone destruction. Long-term follow-up is essential because local recurrence and disseminated disease can occur many years postdiagnosis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
