65yo dad's sinonasal plasmacytoma excised. serum electrophoresis detected igg & free kappa chain was 22.5mg/l. all other levels and ratios normal. bone marrow report - hypercellularity (60%), 2% plasma cells, erythroid hyperplasia. how's prognosis?

Depends: If the lesion was localized and completely removed, the prognosis is generally good. However, you father needs to monitored and serum protein electrophoresis repeated at a frequency advised by your doctor. Wish your father good health!
