Abstract:
The occurrence of a solitary plasmacytoma in the conjunctiva is unusual. This relatively uncommon neoplastic disorder occurs more frequently in other organs and is derived from B-lymphocytes. In the present study the case of a 17-year-old female, who had a lesion of the lower fornix conjunctiva in the left eye, is presented. The lesion was resected and the patient underwent amniotic membrane transplantation. Pathological examination of the specimen showed a plasmacytoma. Bone marrow aspirate showed that the cellularity and number of plasma cells were normal, and no myeloma cells were observed. A complete skeletal survey failed to show bony masses or osteolytic events. Following surgery, the patient was provided with a course of radiotherapy. During the follow-up period of 12 months the lesion did not recur.
