Imaging of a Case of Extramedullary Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Trachea

الملخص EN

We describe a case of extramedullary tracheal plasmacytoma that was incidentally discovered in a 73-year-old man on a PET scan performed for assessing the extent of colon cancer.

CT scan showed the tumor; multiplanar reformation coupled with virtual bronchoscopy allowed proper treatment planning.

The tracheal tumor was resected during rigid bronchoscopy.

Relevant investigations excluded multiple myeloma.

Follow-up CT showed persistent thickening of the tracheal wall, but there has been no recurrence after one-year followup.
