Two cases of bulky plasmacytoma of the lateral orbital wall.
We describe two cases of solitary localized plasmacytoma in the lateral orbital wall, equally interesting for their localization and for their evolution under therapy. With CT we not only visualized the osteolytic bone lesion with greater accuracy than with conventional radiology but we also demonstrated the existence and extension of the concomitant soft tissue mass. We would like to emphasize the role of CT scanning for the evaluation of the lesion before and after treatment.
