Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Solitary plasmacytomas of the calvaria are rare primary bone tumors.
  • Diagnosis and treatment require a multidisciplinary approach.
  • Surgical resection is a primary therapeutic option.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a solitary plasmacytoma of the frontal bone.
  • Complete surgical resection was performed to remove the tumor.
  • A large calvarial defect resulted from the resection.

Findings:

  • Reconstruction of the calvarial defect was achieved using a split-thickness calvarial graft.
  • The graft was harvested from the parietal bone.
  • Miniplates were utilized for graft fixation, ensuring stability.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates a viable surgical technique for managing large calvarial defects post-oncologic resection.
  • Effective management strategies for solitary calvarial plasmacytomas can be established.
  • Further discussion on clinical presentation, diagnostics, and prognosis is warranted.
