Abstract:
We report a 35-year old female patient with history of seizure and mass which was confirmed as a plasma cell granuloma, arising in the left parietal area. The mass appeared on magnetic resonance imaging as well circumscribed area of decreased signal that markedly enhanced with administration of the contrast. Pathologically, biopsy showed a mixed cellular population with considerable numbers of plasma cells along with eosinophils and lymphocytes and the tumors was characterized immunohistochemically by polyclonal population of lymphoid cells.
