Abstract


A 60 years old gentlemen presented to our         out-patient department with complaints of progressive increas e in the size of his left eye associated with diplopia. On            further examining and investigating we diagnosed him to have a multiple myeloma which manifested as an orbital                  plasmacytoma. We have presented this case report for its typical presentation of pathological fracture many years           before proptosis could manifest.
