Solitary dural plasmacytoma: case report
Neurosurgery
|June 1, 1995
Summary
Solitary intracranial plasmacytomas are rare brain tumors. This case report details a unique dural plasmacytoma, the first examined using magnetic resonance imaging, contributing to rare tumor research.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Solitary intracranial plasmacytomas are exceptionally rare central nervous system tumors.
- Prior to this report, only 14 dural and 4 intracerebral plasmacytoma cases were documented.
- This study focuses on a rare instance of a solitary dural plasmacytoma.
Observation:
- A 52-year-old male presented with a solitary plasmacytoma.
- The tumor originated from the right frontal dura mater.
- This represents the first documented case of solitary dural plasmacytoma evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Findings:
- The case highlights the diagnostic utility of MRI in identifying rare intracranial neoplasms.
- Literature review confirms the extreme rarity of solitary dural plasmacytomas.
- The patient's presentation and imaging characteristics are detailed.
Implications:
- This case expands the understanding of rare dural tumors.
- Highlights the importance of advanced imaging techniques like MRI in diagnosing uncommon neurological conditions.
- Contributes valuable data for future research on intracranial plasmacytomas and their management.

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

02:11Reporter Genes
13.1K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

2.9K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
