Abstract
Plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell neoplasm. Whether solitary or associated with multiple myeloma (MM), it rarely involves the skull base, particularly the sphenoid bone. We present a unique case of sphenoid bone plasmacytoma secondary to MM, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 56-year-old female presented with headaches, vomiting, epistaxis, and cranial nerve deficits. Cerebral imaging revealed a 65-mm tumor infiltrating the sphenoid bone and adjacent structures. Subtotal resection was performed using an endoscopic nasal approach. Histopathology revealed plasmacytoma, and diagnostic workup confirmed MM. By the end of biological exploration, relapse of the sphenoid plasmacytoma was observed, and the patient was successfully treated with radiotherapy, immunochemotherapy, and autologous stem cell transplantation. After 18-month follow-up, sustained complete remission was confirmed. Although rare, the diagnosis of plasmacytoma should be considered in cases of skull base tumors. This localization is highly predictive of MM, warranting comprehensive investigations to initiate prompt and adequate management.

Abstract
Plasmacytoma of the skull base is a rare entity. We present a case of sphenoid plasmacytoma in a 51-year-old woman who had nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis, headaches, decreasing visual acuity, and diplopia. Computed Tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a large heterogeneous, expansile lesion measuring 75 mm × 54 mm, centered on the sphenoidal bone and the clivus. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of solitary plasmacytoma after ruling out systemic spread by the initial assessment. The patient was successfully managed by external beam radiotherapy and a complete response was obtained after 12 months of follow-up.

Abstract
A rare case of sphenoid plasmacytoma in a 62‐year‐old woman who was presented with a frozen eye is reported. It was histopathologically confirmed based on transsphenoidal biopsy. Moreover, initial evaluation ruled out systemic dissemination of the disease and solitary plasmacytoma was diagnosed. Surgical removal of the tumor with complementary radiotherapy was performed as a treatment modality.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy and most common primary bone malignancy. Ocular manifestations of MM are extremely rare and may be the first presentation leading to diagnosis. Ophthalmologists routinely encounter cavernous sinus syndrome, and there is a wide range of possible etiologies. Here, we present a case of a patient presenting with diplopia, ptosis, and ophthalmoplegia found to have a cavernous sinus plasmacytoma with systemic workup consistent with MM. MM is a rare cause of cavernous sinus syndrome and should be considered in the setting of a skull base mass.

Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytomas involving the cavernous sinus are rare manifestations of multiple myeloma, and management strategies for such a pathology are not extensively discussed in the literature. In this case report, we describe the case of a patient presenting with a cavernous sinus syndrome secondary to a presumed meningioma. Surgical intervention was avoided as a computed tomography-guided biopsy was performed yielding the diagnosis of a cavernous sinus plasmacytoma. Neurointerventional radiology obtained the cavernous sinus mass biopsy using an approach through the maxillary bone and sinus. Histopathology identified sheets of atypical plasma cells, and the patient was referred to radiation oncology for further management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Plasmocytomas rarely invade the skull base. It can be solitary or multiple. The clinical presentation mainly consists in a progressive neuropathy involving many cranial nerves, or may simply present as an optochiasmatic syndrome. OBSERVATION The authors report a case of a female patient aged 68 years presenting with an optochiasmatic syndrome with an anosmia and paralysis of the right sixth (VI) cranial nerve progressing over two years prior to her hospitalisation. Cerebral MRI showed a voluminous intrasellar lesion, isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2, enhancing intensely after gadolinium injection with evidence of invasion of the sphenoid and cavernous sinuses. The endocrinologic assay was normal. A sphenoidal biopsy by the rhinoseptal route permitted the diagnosis of a plasmocytoma. A complete radiologic and laboratory assessment of the patient was accomplished, the patient benefited from local radiotherapy. DISCUSSION Plasmocytomas are malignant tumors that are essentially osseous. The cervicocephalic region is rarely afflicted (1%). Extension to the cranial base seldom occurs. Less than 30 cases have been described in the literature simulating the other numerous neoplastic intrasellar lesions. CONCLUSION Plasmocytomas of the cranial base revealing a myeloma represent a very rare entity. Nevertheless, whether solitary or multiple, a plasmocytoma must be considered amongst the differential diagnoses in the face of any invasive lesion of the sphenoid sinus.

Abstract
Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma with rapid proliferative index, which makes it disseminate easily to distal sites, especially to bone marrow and the central nerve system. We report here a 22-year-old woman with Burkitt's lymphoma involving multiple organs, including kidneys, breasts, left ovary, and bone marrow at the time of diagnosis. The patient responded well to intensive chemotherapy before the onset of retro-orbital pain, vomiting, and photophobia. The contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image in a second magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed a 2 x 1.9 cm mass in her left cavernous sinus that was not found in her initial MRI. Central nervous system (CNS)-directed high-dose chemotherapy and whole-brain radiation could not change the final failed treatment outcome caused by the cavernous sinus involvement disseminating to her entire CNS. Further study should provide well-designed therapeutic strategies to Burkitt's patients with cavernous sinus involvement.
