Case-report of a plasma cell granuloma of the lung found in a girl aged 8 years 6 months. The lesion of the lung was first interpreted as a metastasis of a suspected primary tumor in the right calf. It was only later that plasmacell granuloma of the lung was diagnosed. Plasma cell granuloma of the lung often gives rise to confusion, a fact illustrated by the various names applied to it, e.g. pseudosarcoma, postinflammatory pseudotumor of the lung, histiocytoma, xanthoma, fibroxanthoma, xanthogranuloma. On histological examination, this tumor consists of proliferations mainly of plasmacells and reticulo-endothelial cells, with some polymorphism and some giant cells. The tumor appears as a single, sharply circumscribed mass, is usually asymptomatic and therefore found mostly on routine-chest-films. Rarely is it found as an obstructive mass in the bronchi or in the trachea. The histopathogenesis of the tumor is not known, the lesion benign. Treatment is resection.
