    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Extraskeletal involvement is a known complication.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of orbital myeloma is presented.
    • The patient had a history of multiple myeloma.

    Findings:

    • Orbital mass in a patient with known multiple myeloma suggests direct spread.
    • Proptosis can be an initial sign of orbital involvement.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering orbital myeloma in differential diagnosis.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and management of extraskeletal spread.
