Résumé
Cranial solitary plasmacytomas are uncommon lesions, and localization to the skull base is rare. Here we present a case in a 36-year-old woman who complained of dizziness and mild headaches. Radiographic imaging indicated the presence of a solitary skull base lesion in the posterior cranial fossa. Laboratory tests and imaging excluded systemic disease. A biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with proton-beam radiation and had a complete clinical and radiographic resolution, demonstrating the previously unreported utility of monotherapy with proton-beam radiation in such cases.
