Solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium: two cases treated by operation alone.
Two cases of solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium operated on with radical removal are reported. The two patients were not submitted to postoperative radiotherapy, unlike other cases reported in the literature. The authors stress that solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium may have a good prognosis if radically removed, and in these cases radiotherapy is not necessary.
