“…Superotemporal orbit and extraconal location of the orbit is considered as the common location for MM due to the rich blood supply to the lacrimal gland & extraocular muscles, presence of extensive marrow in orbital bones, and also may be lacrimal system is more prone to metastasis than other orbital sites. 7,8 Our patient also had extraconal superotemporal orbital infiltration by the MM like other cases reported in the literature. Treatment of the orbital lesions includes local excision as a salvage surgery, exenteration or radiotherapy and additional chemotherapy.…”

“…However, orbital involvement carries worse prognosis with decrease in the overall survival to approximately 20-30 months. 4,7,8 Our patient survived for approximately 28 months since the diagnosis of MM and for 4 months since the orbital presentation. In summary, we report a case of recurrent refractory Ig G kappa MM with orbital infiltration along with skull base and spine involvement.…”

“…It may occur in all lymph nodes, skin, liver and spleen, and less frequently in the kidney and dura mater [1,6]. More rarely, involvements of the orbita, muscle, skin, and pericardium are seen [7][8][9]. Diagnosis is made with the establishment of monoclonal plasma cells in the involved organ.…”

“…Muscle showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates (figure 2), a rare extramedullary manifestation of plasmacytoma. 2,3 Sensory loss and muscle strength improved after fasciotomy. Therapy for plasmacytoma was bortezomib/dexamethasone plus radiotherapy of both forearms.…”
