We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with a pulsatile swelling in the posterior parieto-occipital area. CT and MRI revealed an extra-axial mass. Gross total resection was performed. Histologically it was found to be a plasmacytoma. No recurrence has been noted in the last 48 months of follow up.
