INTRACEREBRAL SOLITARY PLASMACYTOMA - REP ORT OF A CASE POSSIBLY INDUCED BY HEAD-INJURY

We report a rare occurrence of an intraparenchymal plasmocytoma. On th e past history of a severe head injury twenty years ago and the presen ce of a porencephalic area on the computerized tomography scan and mag netic resonance imaging we suspected a possible trauma-tumor relation. Accuracy of the histological diagnosis of plasmocytoma was confirmed. The treatment was a surgical excision only, and after a 4.5 years fol low-up period, no clinical nor radiographic recurrence was noted.
