AbstractPatients with multiple myeloma often show skull bone involvement, although in most cases this is manifested as skull erosion and large masses develop only rarely. Here we report a patient who presented with a large cranial mass mimicking a subdural hematoma with calcification. The tumor shrunk with 37.5 Gy of focal irradiation in 15 fractions after biopsy. After irradiation the patient was treated with Bortezomib but died because of adverse events. The differential diagnosis of lenticular lesion of the skull and treatment strategy for large skull mass with myeloma cells are discussed.

✓The authors report two cases of cranial fasciitis occurring at prior craniotomy sites. They review the presentation and pathological features associated with cranial fasciitis and describe two unusual cases and their treatment. The first case is that of a 16-year-old girl who underwent suboccipital craniectomy for resection of medulloblastoma and 14 months later was found to have a 4-cm nontender mass at the incision site, with evidence of skull erosion on neuroimaging. Resection of the mass revealed cranial fasciitis. The patient later developed two more lesions in the cranial region, as well as lesions on the chest wall and abdomen consistent with nodular fasciitis; all of the lesions were resected. The second case is that of a 61-year-old man who underwent suboccipital craniectomy for hypertensive hemorrhage and 2 years later was found to have an enlarging mass at the incision site, causing compression of the cerebellum. The mass was resected and found to be consistent with cranial fasciitis. Cranial fasciitis is a rare, benign lesion of the cranial region. It is histologically identical to nodular fasciitis, a self-limiting fibroblastic process of the superficial and deep fascia. Although most cases of cranial fasciitis are reported to occur spontaneously in the very young, the two cases reported here involved older patients and lesions that developed at prior craniotomy sites in a delayed fashion, a phenomenon not previously reported. Interestingly, one patient exhibited lesions in other areas as well.
