A case of a 56‐year‐old man who underwent gastrectomy and subsequent orchiectomy for extraskeletal plasmacytoma is reported. The recorded case is unique in that a plasmacytoma developed in two unusual sites and in contrast to the poor prognosis observed in most cases, the patient is well 4 years after initial diagnosis.
