Orbital plasma cell myeloma.
نویسنده
چکیده
Orbital plasma cell myeloma is a rare condition. In a review of 222 intraorbital tumours, Forrest (1949) found only one case, and Offret (I951) reported two cases in a series of 676 orbital tumours. Clarke (I 953) emphasized the differentiation between the plasma cell myeloma of myelomatosis and the benign plasma cell tumour produced by chronic inflammation. The present report concerns a case presenting with orbital and neurological signs and complicated by renal failure.
