Zusammenfassung:We report a case of extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the right adrenal gland. A 52-year-old male was introduced under diagnosis of right adrenal tumor which was found incidentally by computerized tomography in a health check up. Laboratory data showed the presence of M protein and elevation of monoclonal lambda type IgG. It was a hormonally non-active tumor involving the adrenal area. Extramedullary plasmacytoma was confirmed by histological analysis of the resected specimen after laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. Extramedullary plasmacytoma is an uncommon neoplasm and occurs most frequently in the upper respiratory tract and is fairly rare in the adrenal area
