Plasmacytoma is rare form of plasma cell dyscrasias, where there is malignant proliferation of plasma cells. Solitary plasmacytoma developsin isolation without systemic manifestations of multiple myeloma (MM). We report a case of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) plasma cytoma, which masqueraded as a schwannoma with multiple cranial nerve involvement and review a literature pertaining to the same pathological entity.
