Plasmacytoma resection

In this video, we will show the resection of a plasmacytoma of the pre-epiglottic space. We start by detaching the infrahyoid muscles from the hyoid bone. We expose the cranial edge of the thyroid cartilage, and we continue to dissect above it until we find the mass. We carefully remove the mass with bipolar cautery and blunt dissection. We had to remove a part of the thyroid cartilage to have a better exposure of the lesion. Once completely removed, we closed by layers.
