Combined endoscopic transorbital and transnasal approach for the management of a solitary plasmacytoma of the sphenoid bone: A case report and literature review. Surg Neurol Int 2024; 15:45. [PMID: 38468666 PMCID: PMC10927175 DOI: 10.25259/sni_915_2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Parasellar plasmacytomas are rare neurosurgical entities. Intrinsic characteristics of these tumors, such as adjacent bone erosion and symptoms resulting from invasion and mass effect, may lead to the possibility of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) as a differential diagnosis. Case Description We present the case of a 39-year-old male with a 1-month history of bilateral decreased visual acuity, retroocular pulsating pain, and chromatic vision loss. A computed tomography scan of the head revealed a parasellar lesion causing chiasmatic compression, as well as clival, orbital, sphenoidal, and ethmoidal invasion. A combined transorbital and endonasal endoscopic approach was found suitable, and gross total resection was achieved. Histological analysis of the lesion established the diagnosis of a SEP. After radiotherapy, a new magnetic resonance imaging was performed, revealing a recurrence of the lesion with a high grade of invasion. The patient was treated with palliative radiotherapy, as surgical resection did not seem feasible. Conclusion Surgical resection and radiotherapy may achieve remission of these lesions; however, recurrence rates remain high despite any treatment modality. Patients with this condition must be followed up with a multidisciplinary team due to the high risk of multiple myeloma progression.

Enhanced clinical outcomes with radiotherapy in diagnostically challenging intracranial plasmacytomas: Analysis of 190 cases. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7017. [PMID: 38457205 PMCID: PMC10922021 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial plasmacytomas are rare tumors arising from plasma cells with approximately half of the cases progressing to multiple myeloma (MM). However, there is a lack of comprehensive clinical cohort analysis on the clinical and pathological features, progression, and outcomes of intracranial plasmacytomas. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 190 cases was conducted, combining data from 38 cases in a single institution and 152 cases from the literature. Patient demographics, clinical presentations, tumor locations, imaging features, surgical treatments, and follow-up outcomes were collected and analyzed. Survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to identify prognostic factors. RESULTS A total of 190 intracranial plasmacytoma patients with an average age of 55.4 years were included in the study. The preoperative misdiagnosis ratio was high at 55.3%, and 59.7% of the tumors affected the calvaria convexity, compared to 40.3% located at the skull base. Resection and biopsy were achieved in 72.4% and 27.6% patients, respectively. Among them, 34.2% (65/190) of patients were initially diagnosed with MM with intracranial plasmacytoma as their first presentation (MM-IPFP), while 63.2% (120/190) of patients were diagnosed with solitary intracranial plasmacytoma (SIP), including 61 extramedullary plasmacytomas and 59 solitary bone plasmacytomas. In the SIP group, 22.4% (24/107) of patients experienced disease progression leading to the development of MM during a median follow-up time of 42.6 months (range 1-230 months). Multivariate analysis unveiled that radiotherapy (HR, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.00-0.87; p = 0.04), not surgery, was a protective prognostic factor for overall survival in MM-IPFP patients. Comparison between the SIP progression group and non-progression group revealed a significant difference of Ki-67 index (non-progression vs. SIP progression, 8.82% ± 7.03 vs. 16.5% ± 10.5, p < 0.05). AUC analysis determined that a cutoff value of 9.0% was the best predictor of SIP progression, with an area under the curve of 0.712. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective clinical analysis highlights the potential role of radiotherapy, rather than surgical resection, in improving the outcomes of intracranial plasmacytoma. Additionally, the Ki-67 index is identified as a valuable marker for predicting disease progression. This would provide some evidence for the paradigm of diagnosis and treatment modalities for intracranial plasmacytomas from the large cohort.

Abstract
Endoscopic skull base surgery has become an integral part of the present neurosurgical armamentarium. The pioneering efforts in which the purely endoscopic transsphenoidal approach was introduced have triggered a growing tide of using the endoscopic endonasal procedures for a large variety of skull base lesions. Because of their anatomical peculiarities, lesions of the sellar and parasellar regions lend themselves very well to the endoscopic endonasal approaches. Apart from the common pathological entities, many other less frequent pathologies are encountered in the sellar and parasellar area. In this chapter, we review the surgical technique of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach and its extensions applied to a variety of rare and uncommon pathological entities involving the sella turcica and clivus. An overview of these pathological entities is also presented and exemplified.

Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2020; 201:106455. [PMID: 33395618 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2020.106455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone invasive pituitary adenomas (BIPAs) show obvious malignant behaviour. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical features, prognosis, recurrence risks and surgical strategies of BIPAs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical charts and radiological information were reviewed retrospectively in 107 consecutive cases of BIPAs. Transnasal endoscopic surgery was adopted with the goal of removing tumours. Scheduled follow-up was performed. RESULTS Clinical variable analyses revealed a significant correlation between bone invasive range and sex, tumour volume and tumour regrowth. Gross total resection, subtotal resection and partial resection were achieved in 26 cases (24.3 %), 28 cases (26.2 %) and 53 cases (49.5 %), respectively. There was a significant correlation between nongross total resection and female sex, young age, large tumour volume, bone invasive range, tumour regrowth and functional pituitary adenomas in BIPAs. The tumour regrowth rates at 3 years, 5 years and 10 years were 45.3 %, 76.3 % and 97.5 %, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that tumour volume, bone invasion range, age, recurrent tumours and tumour resection degree were associated with BIPA regrowth. Multivariate analysis showed that tumour resection degree, bone invasive range, and tumour diameter were independent risk factors for BIPA regrowth. CONCLUSION BIPAs have the characteristics of high surgical risk, low GTR rate and high recurrence rate. There was a significant correlation between bone invasive range and sex, tumour volume and tumour regrowth in BIPAs. Bone invasive range is an independent risk factor for BIPA regrowth.
