Abstract
ABSTRACT Extramedullary Plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare plasma cell tumour without any other systemic characteristics of multiple myeloma. They are commonly observed in tissues of the upper aerodigestive tract and are extremely rare tumours. Herein, we report an extremely unusual presentation of EMP as endobronchial mass without any bone involvement.
