Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a plasma cell neoplasm that develops outside of the bone marrow. A solitary, exophytic growth in the airway is an extremely rare presentation of SEP. We herein report a case of SEP presenting as an endobronchial mass. The tumor was treated by rigid bronchoscopic debulking followed by ablation using argon plasma coagulation. However, the tumor could not be completely removed due to its wide base. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered as the curative therapy. A biopsy was performed on the resected specimen and the diagnosis of plasmacytoma was thereby confirmed.
孤立性髓外浆细胞瘤(SEP)是一种发生于骨髓外的浆细胞肿瘤。气道内孤立性外生性生长是SEP极为罕见的表现形式。我们在此报告一例表现为支气管内肿物的SEP病例。该肿瘤通过硬质支气管镜下减瘤治疗,随后使用氩等离子体凝固进行消融。然而,由于肿瘤基底较宽,无法完全切除。辅助性放疗作为根治性治疗手段。对切除标本进行活检,从而确诊为浆细胞瘤。
