CT and MRI manifestations of primary pulmonary plasmacytoma

Clin Imaging. 1995 Jan-Mar;19(1):17-9. doi: 10.1016/0899-7071(94)00033-9.

Abstract

Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma (PPP) is rare and its radiographic appearances have been seldom described. We report on a patient with PPP presenting with a hilar mass on chest radiograph. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical study of the resected specimen. The computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings are presented.
