Most extramedullary plasmacytomas are associated with the upper respiratory tract. Primary pulmonary plasmacytomas are rare, and the treatment is surgical excision. This malignancy advances to multiple myeloma in a minority of patients. The patient in our case report is the first to experience renal failure due to hematologic monoclonal gammopathy. Postoperatively, serum protein electrophoresis reverted to normal.
