Misleading imaging features of intracranial dural plasmacytoma: report of two cases

Br J Neurosurg. 2004 Dec;18(6):643-6. doi: 10.1080/02688690400022748.

Abstract

Dural plasmacytomas are very rare and often disregarded in the differential diagnosis of more common lesions of the convexity. We report two cases. Both patients exhibited headache as a main symptom. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance showed a homogeneously enhanced lesion without calcification and without bone involvement.
