Isolated Endobronchial Plasmacytoma in a Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis Taking Methotrexate

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect the respiratory system, with manifestations including infection, rheumatoid nodules, and lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). We report a case of an Epstein-Barr virus–encoded small RNA (EBER)-negative endobronchial plasma cell neoplasm in a patient with RA, suggesting that such lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis of endobronchial masses in patients with RA.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect the respiratory system, with manifestations including infection, rheumatoid nodules, and lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). We report a case of an Epstein-Barr virus–encoded small RNA (EBER)-negative endobronchial plasma cell neoplasm in a patient with RA, suggesting that such lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis of endobronchial masses in patients with RA.
