The first reported case of plasma cell granuloma of the larynx from Nepal
2022, Otolaryngology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Radiation treatment and sometimes oral steroids can be a viable option in circumstances when the lesion is locally aggressive and surgically unresectable or resectable with significant morbidity [11,13,14]. Oral steroids have been used to prevent progression of disease [2,15] as well as un unresectable disease [16]. Plasma cell granuloma is a clonal growth of plasma cells that frequently affects the lungs.

2018, Respiratory Medicine Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Melloni reported an association between completeness of resection and improved survival, which was independent of other clinicopathologic variables [7]. Corticosteroid therapy has been used with variable efficacy in patients who are inoperable, however the data is extremely limited in our review of the medical literature [2,3,8–12]. Steroids have been used in cases when surgical resection is not possible, such as when the tumor is too close to vital structures or if the patient is not a surgical candidate [2].
