  • Title: Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma: a case report.
    Author: Wise JN, Schaefer RF, Read RC.
    Journal: Chest; 2001 Oct; 120(4):1405-7. PubMed ID: 11591589.
    Abstract:
    Most extramedullary plasmacytomas are associated with the upper respiratory tract. Primary pulmonary plasmacytomas are rare, and the treatment is surgical excision. This malignancy advances to multiple myeloma in a minority of patients. The patient in our case report is the first to experience renal failure due to hematologic monoclonal gammopathy. Postoperatively, serum protein electrophoresis reverted to normal.
