Abstract

The authors use data drawn from a wide review of literature with an exhaustive bibliography to confirm the rarity of single plasmocytoma in the cranial vault in comparison to other localizations for this tumour. The case observed well illustrates this conclusion and shows how the patients could survive for a long time because solitary plasmocytoma are so sensitive to radiology.
