Plasmocitoma endobronquialDOI: 10.4321/S0378-48352006000500006 Keywords: endobronchial plasmacytoma, extramedullary plamacytoma, rigid bronchoscopy. Abstract: extramedullary plasmacytoma is a little frequent plasma cell tumor originating mainly in the soft tissues (extramedullary) in the absence of generalized disease. lung localization is very rare, comprising 5% of the cases. there are few literature contributions about this entity. we present a clinical case of endobronchial plasmacytoma of a 67 year old woman presented with a picture of pneumonia and recurrent parapneumonic efussion. she was treated with laser ablation using a rigid bronchoscope. the subsequent fibrobronchoscopic controls and the clinical and analytical follow up confirmed the absence of disease 14 months after the diagnosis.
