Cerebral tumor with hemi-dural enhancement as unique presentation of multiple myeloma: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intracranial multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare manifestation of MM, a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily affects bone marrow. Dural involvement in MM is even rarer and can manifest as a dural mass. We present a case of MM presenting as an intracranial dural tumor with primary hemi-dural involvement.

Research question

This case report aims to investigate the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches for intracranial multiple myeloma, with a focus on the extensive hemi-dural thickening and enhancement seen in this case.

Material and methods

A 73-year-old male presented with progressive dysphasia and weakness. MRI revealed a solid left frontal mass with significant mass-effect. Hemi-dural thickening and enhancement was p
