Extramedullary plasmacytomas are extremely rarely diagnosed in children. We report two cases of extramedullary plasmacytoma detected coincidentally in the adenectomy specimens of children younger than 4 years. We show that these children are disease‐free after local excision as the only treatment. Surgical treatment without anti‐neoplastic therapy in pediatric plasma cell dyscrasias of the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue may be a sufficient curative therapy.
