Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a little frequent plasma cell tumor originating mainly in the soft tissues (extramedullary) in the absence of generalized disease. Lung localization is very rare, comprising 5% of the cases. There are few literature contributions about this entity. We present a clinical case of endobronchial plasmacytoma of a 67 year old woman presented with a picture of pneumonia and recurrent parapneumonic efussion. She was treated with laser ablation using a rigid bronchoscope. The subsequent fibrobronchoscopic controls and the clinical and analytical follow up confirmed the absence of disease 14 months after the diagnosis.

Keywords : Endobronchial plasmacytoma; Extramedullary plamacytoma; Rigid bronchoscopy.
