Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the lung

Abstract

Three patients with extramedullary plasmacytoma of the lung are described, one of whom also had cervical lymph node metastasis, with the production of an M‐protein. The production of M‐protein normalized after successful treatment of the localized disease. In all three patients, the disease was locally controlled with radiation therapy, but it became generalized from 6 months to less than 3 years of the initial presentation.
