Solitary plasmacytoma of the skull: case report

چکیده
Solitary plasmacytoma of the skull is very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the English literature. Skull solitary plasmacytoma tends to disseminate or progress to multiple myeloma (MM) during follow-up. If the skull lesion is isolated, couple with tenderness and marked swelling in the area, plasmacytoma should be considered, especially for the lesion showing isointense with the brain parenchyma on both T1and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imagings. A 42-year-old female patient was diagnosed with skull solitary plasmacytoma after surgery because of preoperative imaging and physical examination suggesting isolated mass. However, the patient received further examinations after the diagnosis of MM being made according to bone marrow aspiration to predict the clinical course. The patients received postoperative chemotherapy. Survival time following surgery was 19-month.
