Background And Objective:
Plasmacytomas are localized collections of monoclonal plasma cells.
Patient And Method:

Results:
The tumor was excised with pathological analysis and immunohistochemical study confirming the diagnosis of conjunctival plasmacytoma. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful.
Conclusions:
Extraosseous plasma cell tumors located in the eye are rare and difficult to diagnose because they present a wide range of clinical differentiation.
