Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare entity that belongs to the category of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. EMP make up 4% of all plasma cell tumors and occur mainly in the upper aerodigestive tract. Primary plasmacytoma involving the orbit is rare. There is a relation between solitary plasmacytoma and subsequent development of multiple myeloma. As no predictors of progression have been identified patients need indefinite follow-up. The authors report a case of EMP involving the eyelid in an otherwise healthy adult female.
髓外浆细胞瘤（EMP）是一种罕见的疾病，属于非霍奇金淋巴瘤范畴。EMP占所有浆细胞瘤的4%，主要发生在上呼吸消化道。累及眼眶的原发性浆细胞瘤很罕见。孤立性浆细胞瘤与随后发生多发性骨髓瘤之间存在关联。由于尚未确定进展的预测因素，患者需要进行长期随访。作者报告了一例EMP累及一名健康成年女性眼睑的病例。
