Abstract:
We report the case of a 61-year old man in whom ablation of a hilar tumour enabled us to diagnose a mediastinal plasmacytoma. Plasmacytomas are rarely found in the mediastinum and sometimes evolve towards myelomas. The best treatment seems to be surgery combined with radiotherapy. The effectiveness of chemotherapy against this tumour is questionable.
