AbstractThe occurrence of plasma cell granuloma of the larynx appears to be unusual. Review of the literature revealed only two previously reported cases. We present an additional case of plasma cell granuloma of the larynx. The diagnosis was made by histological and immunohistochemical examinations. The tumour was successfully treated by radiation therapy.

✓ The authors report the fourth case of primary intracranial plasma-cell granuloma. The patient was a 16-year-old girl who presented with loss of vision as the major clinical feature. The tumor resembled a meningioma both preoperatively and grossly at surgery. Because the tumor did not respond to steroid treatment following subtotal surgical excision, radiation therapy was administered to the affected area. Major considerations in the differential diagnosis of this neoplasm are discussed.

Introduction. We present a case of an 89-year-old female who attended our surgical endocrine clinic with a 3-month history of a left-sided neck lump. There was no past medical history of thyroid disease.Methods. Following examination and further investigation, including core biopsy, a diagnosis of plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid was made. Biochemical testing of thyroid function and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody was in-keeping with an associated Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Results. The patient was treated conservatively with thyroxine and regularly seen in clinic. TSH levels improved and the lump showed signs of regression.Conclusion. Plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid is rare with only 16 previously reported cases. We present a new approach to management without the use of surgery or steroids. The literature is reviewed comparing clinico-pathological features and management of other reported cases.
