Primary plasma cell granuloma of petrous bone

Abstract Plasma cell granulomas are rare intracranial lesions that can mimic a variety of intracranial tumours. As they are usually benign lesions, their identification assumes importance. We report a case of plasma cell granuloma in a 52-year-old man presenting with features of left sided V, VII and bilateral VIII nerve involvement who underwent subtotal excision of the lesion. The relevant literature is reviewed.
