The clinical, radiological and pathological features of three cases of plasma cell granuloma of the lung are described. This represents the first report of such tumours from the University Hospital of the West Indies, which were diagnosed only within the last three years. Distinction must be made between plasma cell granuloma and plasmacytoma of the lung, an exceedingly rare tumour which may or may not be associated with multiple myelomatosis (AU)
