| Summary: | 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. |
