title: Misleading imaging features of intracranial dural plasmacytoma: report of two cases.
abstract: Dural plasmacytomas are very rare and often disregarded in the differential diagnosis of more common lesions of the convexity. We report two cases. Both patients exhibited headache as a main symptom. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance showed a homogeneously enhanced lesion without calcification and without bone involvement.
