Primary solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma

Ann Thorac Surg. 2004 Oct;78(4):1448-9. doi: 10.1016/S0003-4975(03)01474-7.

Abstract

Twenty-two cases of pulmonary plasmacytoma have been reported in the literature and verified by immunohistochemistry or other diagnostic tests. The treatment for this rare tumor has included various combinations of surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We report a case of a middle-age man who underwent endoscopic debulking followed by laser ablation for a pulmonary plasmacytoma, which showed a prominent endobronchial location with clinical and histopathologic verification.
