Dural Plasmacytoma Involving Calvarium with Soft Tissue Extension Mimicking Meningioma: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Here, the authors describe a case of 25-year-old man diagnosed with dural plasmacytoma involving calvarium with soft tissue extension. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extra-axial heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass lesion in the left parieto-occipital region with a dural tail mimick...

| description | Here, the authors describe a case of 25-year-old man diagnosed with dural plasmacytoma involving calvarium with soft tissue extension. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extra-axial heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass lesion in the left parieto-occipital region with a dural tail mimicking meningioma, destroying the left parietal bone, and bulging into the scalp. Mass was excised and histopathologic examination revealed plasmacytoma with amyloid deposition. There is no recurrence after postoperative radiotherapy and 2 years of follow-up, although the future course is still not certain. The clinician should consider alternative diagnosis other than meningioma prior to proceeding to surgery if the dural-based lesion is involving calvarium and soft tissue extension. |
