A Case of Intraventricular Plasma Cell Granuloma

ABSTRACT

A case of plasma cell granuloma in the right lateral ventricle simulating a meningioma of a 24-year-old man which was totally removed is presented. Plasma cell granuloma is a rare nonneoplastic lesion of unknown etiology which exclusively occurs in the lung. However on review of the English literature, only four prior cases of extrapulmonary plasma cell granulomas in the central nervous system have been reported.
