Primary plasmocytomas of the cranial vault.

摘要: Primary intracranial plasmocytomas are rare in neurosurgical practice. The accessible literature indicates that they fall into two groups: 1. Extramedullary plasmocytoma originating from the dura and 2. Plasmocytoma cranial vault. Four patients with primary lesions of vault were surgically treated and common characteristic clinical radiological features discussed. Although immediate outcome treatment was excellent all cases, disemination disease occurred within period one year. It is therefore essential so called solitary plasmacytoma rescreened for systemic myelomatosis at regular intervals.
