Key result
MRI characterizes a rare solitary plasmacytoma originating from the right frontal dura mater.
Why the study?
Solitary intracranial plasmacytomas are exceedingly rare with very few reported cases, and imaging characteristics are not well documented.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the first use of magnetic resonance imaging to examine a rare solitary dural plasmacytoma.
Provides first MRI features of solitary dural plasmacytoma; extends sparse literature but leaves management questions open.
Solitary intracranial plasmacytomas are exceedingly rare. Before this case report, only 14 cases of solitary dural and 4 cases of intracerebral plasmacytomas had been reported in the literature. We present a case of solitary plasmacytoma originating from the right frontal dura mater in a 52-year-old man; we also review the literature on the previous cases. To our knowledge, our patient is the first patient with a solitary dural plasmacytoma to be examined with magnetic resonance imaging.

Benli et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Solitary dural plasmacytoma (n=1). Magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging was used for the first time to examine a 52-year-old man presenting with a rare solitary plasmacytoma originating from the right frontal dura mater.
