Ultrastructural study of pulmonary plasma cell granuloma--report of a case.
Electron microscopy of a tumour diagnosed as a pulmonary plasma cell granuloma showed that the tumour was composed of plasma cells, fibroblasts, histiocytes and other inflammatory cells. The plasma cells were mature, with abundant endoplasmic reticulum. Fibroblasts contained multiple lipid droplets and intracytoplasmic inclusions. The relationship between plasma cell granuloma and lesions believed to be related is discussed.
