To report a rare case of solitary orbital plasmacytoma associated with chronic hepatitis C.
We have reviewed the case of a man who presented with soft tissue mass in the superolateral orbit. Biopsy demonstrated immunohistochemical positivity of plasma cells for lambda light chains and CD56. Systemic evaluation was negative for multiple myeloma, and the diagnosis of solitary orbital plasmacytoma was made.
We comment on the rarity of the case according to the reviewed literature.
Given the correlation between hepatitis C and other lymphoproliferative disorders, we conclude hepatitis C may also be associated with solitary plasmacytomas.
报告一例与慢性丙型肝炎相关的罕见孤立性眼眶浆细胞瘤病例。
我们回顾了一名男性患者的病例,该患者眼眶外上象限出现软组织肿块。活检显示浆细胞λ轻链和CD56免疫组化呈阳性。全身评估排除多发性骨髓瘤,诊断为孤立性眼眶浆细胞瘤。
根据文献回顾,我们对该病例的罕见性进行了评论。
鉴于丙型肝炎与其他淋巴增殖性疾病之间的相关性,我们得出结论,丙型肝炎也可能与孤立性浆细胞瘤有关。
