title: A tale of the unexpected: Amyloidoma associated with intracerebral lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
abstract: Amyloidoma is a rare cause for intracranial space-occupying lesions diagnosed on brain imaging. Histology of excised tissue usually reveals the presence of a discrete, λ-light chain secreting plasmacytoma adjacent to an amyloid mass comprising aggregated monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains. We described a patient with intracerebral amyloidoma associated with a localised lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and no systemic paraproteinaemia, tumour or amyloid deposits.
