“…[ 6 7 ] After a diagnosis of skull plasmacytoma, patients must be evaluated for myeloma using a battery of tests such as serum light chain assay, serum electrophoresis, urine for Bence–Jones protein, PET scan, and bone marrow examination. [ 9 ] The monoclonal nature of tumor cells must also be confirmed to rule out the possibility of plasma cell granuloma. The prognosis of solitary plasmacytomas and extramedullary plasmacytomas is better as compared to that of multiple myeloma.…”

Skull vault plasmacytoma mimicking parasagittal meningioma: “Mini-brain appearance”

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Plasmacytomas occur as lesions in soft tissue or bone. Skull vault plasmacytomas are rare lesions comprising 0.7% of all plasmacytomas. Workup for myeloma must be done in such cases to rule out multiple myeloma. Here, we report a case of a 63-year-old female who presented to us with a large skull vault swelling which appeared to mimic a parasagittal meningioma on imaging. Histopathological imaging revealed it to be a plasmacytoma. A retrospective review of the radiology revealed the characteristic “mini-brain appearance” in our case. Literature on the subject is also reviewed.
