Waldenström macroglobulinemia of the orbit.
A 77-year-old man with known Waldenström macroglobulinemia was examined for unilateral proptosis and periorbital swelling. The patient was found to have an orbital mass involving the lateral wall. Histologic and immunophenotypic matching of the orbital mass to the patient's systemic findings were used to diagnose the orbital mass as a Waldenström macroglobulinemia tumor.
