Abstract

S OLITARY plasmacytoma in the cranial cavity is a rare lesion. As far as we could ascertain, only five cases of solitary intracranial plasmacytoma have been reported in the literature. Several characteristics distinguish this solitary tumor from other plasmacytomas in the cranial cavity. It is not associated with adjacent lesions in the skull or with tumors of other sites. After complete removal of the tumor by surgery or irradiation, or a combination of both, patients remain free of symptoms. This case report concerns a patient with an unusually large tumor, which was treated by surgery and irradiation therapy. The patient still has no evidence of recurrent disease approximately 3 years after treatment.
