Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Plasma cell granulomas are rare inflammatory lesions, predominantly affecting the lungs.
  • Intracranial plasma cell granulomas are exceptionally uncommon, with few reported cases in the central nervous system.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male presented with an intracranial lesion at the right frontoparietal convexity.
  • Initial computed tomography and surgical evaluation suggested a falx meningioma.

Findings:

  • The case represents an unusual instance of intracranial plasma cell granuloma.
  • Diagnostic considerations for differentiating this lesion from meningioma with plasma cell infiltration and plasmacytoma are discussed.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of central nervous system inflammatory lesions.
  • Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of rare intracranial tumors and inflammatory masses.
