Description
Karla Rodriguez Garces and co-authors report an eye socket tumor that first revealed a bone marrow cancer. Their 2026 case describes a sixty-three-year-old man with one month of a bulging left eye, plus back pain and heavy weight loss over five months. The growth in the socket proved to be a plasmacytoma, a single mass of plasma cells.
Eye involvement in multiple myeloma is rare, and such masses make up under one percent of orbital lesions. Scans showed a mass over three centimeters wide invading the sinuses and reaching into the skull, with many eaten-away spots in the skull bones. Blood work showed severe anemia, low platelets, and kidney strain. The case joins the minority where the eye signs open the whole diagnosis.
