| Popis: | Patients with multiple myeloma often show skull bone involvement, although in most cases this is manifested as skull erosion and large masses develop only rarely. Here we report a patient who presented with a large cranial mass mimicking a subdural hematoma with calcification. The tumor shrunk with 37.5 Gy of focal irradiation in 15 fractions after biopsy. After irradiation the patient was treated with Bortezomib but died because of adverse events. The differential diagnosis of lenticular lesion of the skull and treatment strategy for large skull mass with myeloma cells are discussed. |
