AI Article Synopsis

  • Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) can develop as lesions in the airway, potentially leading to central airway obstruction.
  • While they usually appear as single tumors, it's important to think about EMPs when looking at multiple tumors in the tracheobronchial region.
  • Treatment options include bronchoscopic tumor removal and radiation therapy to help alleviate symptoms.

Article Abstract

Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) can present as airway lesions causing central airway obstruction. Though typically solitary, EMPs should be considered in the evaluation of multifocal tracheobronchial tumors. Bronchoscopic tumor debulking and radiation therapy can be used for symptomatic relief.
