Abstract

Extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare tumors. In majority of cases tumors arise in the head and neck region and endobronchial localization is extremely rare. The treatment is usually resection alone or combination of surgery with radiotherapy. Herein we present a case of solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma which was resected with bronchoscopic electrocautery, because of extremely rare occurrence of solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma and also the successful outcome of bronchoscopic electrocautery therapy.
