[Solitary plasmacytoma simulating pituitary adenoma].
A case of solitary plasmocytoma of the sphenoid is reported, masquerading as pituitary adenoma. At the time of surgery, the patient had no findings of multiple myeloma. The tumor was removed by trans-sphenoidal route and radiotherapy delivered. The post-operative course was uneventful, and two years later, there is no sign of recurrency or extension of multiple myeloma.
