Solitary plasmacytoma is an uncommon tumor. We present a case in an unusually young patient demonstrating the mini brain sign that has been published in a couple of reports as a diagnostic radiological pattern produced by plasmacytoma. Identification of “mini brain appearance” on imaging can direct the radiologist and clinicians to the diagnosis of plasmacytoma and obviate the necessity of pre-operative biopsy.
