Abstract

© 2021 The Korean Neurosurgical Society.Extramedullary plasmacytoma and solitary plasmacytoma are localized neoplasms. Solitary plasmacytoma of bone consists about 4% of malignant plasma cell tumors. A plasmacytoma involving the frontal bone is unusual, and a limited number of cases have been reported. We present a rare case of a solitary plasmacytoma of the frontal bone manifesting as a forehead lump.
