Intracranial solitary plasmacytomas are rare brain tumors often misdiagnosed. Successful treatment with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation achieved a complete cure, highlighting their inclusion in differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracranial solitary plasmacytomas are exceptionally rare central nervous system tumors.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is frequently challenging, leading to potential misdiagnosis as other lesions like meningiomas.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old woman presented with a falcotentorial lesion initially diagnosed as an en plaque meningioma.
  • Over three years, the lesion progressed, causing seizures, increased intracranial pressure, and hemiparesis.

Findings:

  • Advanced imaging confirmed tumor growth, necessitating intervention.
  • The patient underwent partial tumor resection followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering intracranial solitary plasmacytomas in the differential diagnosis of falcotentorial lesions.
