    Abstract

    Tumors of plasma cell origin are termed as plasmacytomas. They can be primary or secondary. Primary tumors are invasive locally and do not metastatize. Involvement of the eye and orbit is very rare, and only few cases have been reported around the globe. We outline the case of a 48-year-old male, who presented with primary plasmacytoma of the maxilla and orbit, and how it was managed using the combined approach technique.
