title: [Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma of the conjunctiva].
abstract: There is a wide variety of conjunctival tumors. A good diagnosis can be reached by discussing the case history with the patient in conjunction with a slit-lamp examination. Presented here is the case of a 39-year-old patient with a rapidly growing conjunctival tumor on his left eye. After tumor resection and histological analysis, a plasmacytoma was found. The completed hemato-oncological analysis gave no further suspicious pathological results, leading to the diagnosis of a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma. Percutaneous radiotherapy was carried out.
