The clinicopathologic features of two rare cases of plasma cell granuloma of the endocrine glands are described and compared with extrapulmonary cases reported in the literature. One was localized in the adrenal gland and was revealed by amenorrhea and a large inflammatory syndrome; it is the first case reported to our knowledge. The other case developed in the thyroid, was asymptomatic, and represents the third case in the literature.
