Abstract
We report a case of eyelid plasmacytoma, The patient presented with a super ficial lesion on the upper left eyelid, 10x7mm in size. Histological and im munohistochemical findings were indicative of plasmacytoma with slightly ab normal sub-epidermic plasma cell infiltrates. Immunoperoxidase staining was strongly positive for intracytoplasmic kappa light chains. No infiltration by atypical plasma cells could be documented in the bone marrow biopsy and aspirate. Skeletal survey showed no osteolytic Lesions or osteoporosis. Th e tumor on the left eyelid was surgically removed. No radiotherapy was admi nistered.
