We consider a free boundary problem for a system of two semilinear parabolic equations. The system represents a simple model of granuloma, a collection of immune cells and bacteria filling a 3-dimensional domain $\Omega(t)$ which varies in time. We prove the existence of stationary spherical solutions and study their linear asymptotic stability as time increases to infinity.
