Plasma cell XXXX involving the brain and the lung.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity75 @entity738
BACKGROUND: Symptomatic plasma cell granulomas (PCG) of the central nervous system (CNS) are a rare entity, especially in association with an extracranial manifestation. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 13 years old @entity1 was operated on for a symptomatic plasma cell @entity738 of the lower lobe of the left lung. Four years later, he suffered his first generalized @entity410 . CT and MRI scans revealed a small @entity75 , which was located in the right frontal lobe, adjacent to the motor strip. Intervention. Stereotactic guided surgery was performed. A plasma cell @entity738 was found, which histopathologically resembled the intrapulmonary lesion, which had been removed four years ago. CONCLUSION: Histological findings, differential diagnosis and specific treatment are reviewed and discussed. @entity1 with PCG should be radiologically staged. Long term prognosis of PCG is good in cases surgically resectable. Nevertheless, @entity1 require lifelong follow up.
