Akut Solunum Yetersi̇zli̇ği̇ Ve Hemşi̇reli̇k Bakimi

Extramedullary plasmacytomas and/or endobronchial plasmacytomas are rare conditions. We present this case due to its rarity. The patient who was diagnosed with extramedullary plasmacytoma of the right vocal cord ten years ago and nasopharynx two years ago was referred to our unit with hemoptysis. A suspicious lesion was detected in the right intermediate bronchus in the thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan and bronchoscopy was performed. A wide-based polypoid lesion in the distal part of the right intermediate bronchus was observed. Examination of the biopsy samples from the endobronchial polypoid lesion showed the presence of plasmacytosis. Extramedullary plasmacytomas are those which involve any soft tissue other than the bone marrow with the upper respiratory tract, being the most frequent site of extramedullary involvement. There are only six cases of endobronchial plasmacytoma in the English literature.
