Abstract EN
-A case of solitary plasmacytoma of the frontal bone was presented.
The patient underwent total excision of the lesion and acrylic cranioplasty.
Post-operative radiotherapy was not given.
He remains free of local recurrence or evidence of systemic myeloma after a follow-up of 12 months.
Relevant literature was reviewed.
Flasma cell neoplasms are categorised as s؟litary plasmacytoma of bones (SFB), extramedullary plasma-cytoma (EMF) and multiple myeloma (MM).
These are generally considered to represent different manifesta-tions of the same disease.
SBF accounts for less than 10% of all plasma cell malignancies'■؛.
These commonly occur in flat bones containing red marrow, such as the spine, pelvis, ribs, skull, sternum and man-dible3•4.
Localisation of SBF in the skull vault is distinctly rare, with only 28 cases having been reported in literature4‘18.
We report one patient with solitary plasmacytoma of the frontal bone who was managed by primary surgical excision and acrylic reconstruction.
