Abstract

A 58-year-old-male was admitted because of an abnormal chest X-ray shadow on a medical examination.<BR>His chest X-ray revealed a small tumor shadow in the right lower lung field. The chest CT revealed a mass in the right S8 area. The number of leukocytes was slightly elevated (9900/mm3). No diagnosis was obtained by bronchoscopic biopsy and he underwent open lung biopsy. Because of the suspicion of plasmacytoma based on pathological examination of the frozen section, we performed right lower lobectomy and lymph node dissection. Postoperative examination of the specimen revealed extrawedullary primary lung plasmacytoma because plasmacytes proliferated nodularly and the kappa chain stained monoclonaly. Extramedullary plasmacytomas originate mostly in the upper airway or oral cavity but very rare in lung.
