Primary plasmocytomas of the cranial vault
Abstract
Primary intracranial plasmocytomas are rare in neurosurgical practice. The accessible literature indicates that they fall into two groups: 1. Extramedullary plasmocytoma originating from the dura and 2. Plasmocytoma originating from the cranial vault. Four patients with primary lesions of the cranial vault were surgically treated and common characteristic clinical and radiological features discussed. Although the immediate outcome of treatment was excellent in all cases, the dissemination of disease occurred in two patients within the period of one year. It is therefore essential that the patients with so called solitary cranial plasmacytoma were rescreened for systemic myelomatosis at regular intervals.
