Nodular amyloidoma in the lungs is a rare entity, also the occurrence of extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the lungs is rare. To have concomitant EMP and amyloidoma presented as a single lung mass is even rarer. There was only one similar case reported in the abstract form previously. Our case did not respond to many novel chemotherapy agents, suggesting that this combination of amyloidoma and plasmacytoma belonged to a poor prognosis entity, requiring different treatment modalities, such as early bone marrow transplantation or CART (chimeric antigen receptors T) therapy.
