OBJECTIVE
Assessment of the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of three patients afflicted of extramedullary plasmacytoma located in the Waldeyer's ring, and one case afflicted of maxillary sinus disease.
METHODS
The localization of the masses was the palatine amygdala in two cases, and the
Solitary plasmacytoma of base of skull is a rare disease. It presents with headache, swelling, and other vague symptoms. Systemic work-up to rule out multiple myeloma is necessary. Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. We, here, present a case of solitary plasmacytoma of base of skull in right
A 60-year-old male presented with headache and diplopia for 2 months. Computed tomography of the head showed a heterogeneously enhancing expansile lytic lesion in clival region. The patient underwent surgery and histopathological examination revealed it to be plasmacytoma of the clivus. The multiple
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
A 63-year-old man with cavernous sinus involvement from extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the sphenoid sinus is described. Transient resolution of retro-orbital headache and continued progression of the locally extensive tumor were noted after chemotherapy was given following a poor response to
Plasmacytoma as the 1st presentation of skull tumors is a rare disorder. When it is combined with brain trauma or dramatic changes in intracranial pressure, patients are more prone to misdiagnosis.A 67-year-old woman complaining of a headache presented with Sellar plasmacytoma is a rare cause of sellar lesions. Preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge. We present a 34-year-old Chinese woman with a 25-day history of headache and diplopia. A physical examination revealed incomplete left abducens nerve palsy. The initial diagnosis was invasive pituitary

BACKGROUND
Tumours of the clivus are exceptionally rare, representing a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge. Clival solitary plasmocytomas have been described only as single case reports or included in small clinical series with other intracranial location.
METHODS
Authors report clinical,
Given the rarity of intracranial plasmacytomas, these lesions are frequently misdiagnosed as pituitary adenomas. We report on the distinguishing characteristics of sellar plasmacytomas from cases in the literature and our experience. A literature search was conducted to collect all documented cases
We report an uncommon case of an intrasellar plasmacytoma presenting as a non-functional invasive pituitary macro-adenoma as the first manifestation of multiple myeloma. A 57 year old woman was referred to our department with a presumed diagnosis of a non-functioning pituitary macro-adenoma. She
Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are nonepithelial neoplasms of plasma cell origin categorized among non-Hodgkin lymphomas, without the bone marrow involvement and systemic spread seen in multiple myeloma. They are uncommon tumors comprising 3% of all plasma cell neoplasias. Although
A sixty six year old female presented with headache and decreased hearing. Clinical examination confirmed the presence of impaired hearing on the left side. Visual fields were full to confrontation and corrected visual acuity was normal. CT scan of brain revealed a pituitary mass. Preoperative
Plasma cell neoplasms (plasma cell dyscrasias) are a group of entities characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells, typically producing a monoclonal immunoglobulin. These tumors can manifest as multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance,
