ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Extramedullary plasmacytoma is an uncommon plasma cell malignancy mainly located to the upper aerodigestive tract. Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma is extremely rare. EXEGESIS We report two new cases of primary pulmonary plasmacytoma and then proceed to a review of the literature concerning 35 similar cases previously described.CONCLUSION:
Complete or partial responses were obtained in 24 cases (65%). Five patients (14%) have developed multiple myeloma within 3 years following plasmacytoma diagnostic. In spite of sustained responses with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, surgical resection while feasible remains the first therapeutic option.
