Myeloma manifesting as a large jugular tumor: case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Radiation-induced changes (RICs) are the most common complication of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and they appear as perinidal T2-weighted hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging, with or without associated neurological symptoms. OBJECTIVE:To determine...
