    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma, a plasma cell malignancy, rarely presents as a primary intracranial mass.
    • Cerebral compression from plasmacytoma can lead to significant neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with right hemiparesis and dysphasia due to a large left frontoparietal mass originating from the calvarial diploe.
    • Radiological, biochemical, and bone marrow findings confirmed a diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

    Findings:

    • The patient's plasmacytoma caused significant mass effect on the brain.
    • Treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy resulted in satisfactory clinical improvement.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering multiple myeloma in the differential diagnosis of intracranial masses.
