Hypothesis-generating for unified classification of these lesions; should not yet alter diagnostic practice pending larger validation.
Observational (n=27)
Pulmonary plasma cell granulomas and histiocytomas likely represent a single disease complex of chronic inflammatory origin rather than distinct entities.
Herbert Spencer (1984) conducted an observational in Pulmonary plasma cell/histiocytoma complex (n=27). Pathological and clinical review was evaluated on Pathological and clinical features. Pathological review of 27 pulmonary lesions suggests that plasma cell granulomas and histiocytomas arise from a common chronic inflammatory origin and form one disease complex.
