Abstract Bilateral internal auditory canal (IAC) tumours are almost exclusively associated with bilateral vestibular schwannomas, and there is very little, if anything, that can mimic this appearance. We present a very rare case of a 75-year-old gentleman who initially presented with bilateral IAC tumours and later diagnosed as an isolated primary CNS myeloma without systemic involvement. This is a very rare presentation and has important diagnostic and therapeutic implications. He was treated with a combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The treatment was well tolerated but with limited response. Although rare, metastasis should be considered as a differential diagnosis of IAC lesions.
