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.
浆细胞瘤可表现为软组织或骨的病变。颅骨穹窿浆细胞瘤是罕见病变,占所有浆细胞瘤的0.7%。此类病例必须进行骨髓瘤检查以排除多发性骨髓瘤。在此,我们报告一例63岁女性,她因颅骨穹窿部巨大肿胀前来就诊,影像学检查显示其似乎类似矢状窦旁脑膜瘤。组织病理学检查显示为浆细胞瘤。对该病例的放射学回顾显示出其特征性的“迷你脑外观”。本文还对该主题的文献进行了综述。
