Article Title: Localized recurrence of multiple myeloma in the lacrimal gland
Abstract: The authors report the case of a multiple myeloma recurrence isolated to the lacrimal gland. The patient is a 54-year-old man with a medical history of IgA kappa multiple myeloma status post multiple lines of chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation (×2) who was presumed to be without evidence of disease. Six years following the transplant, he presented with a lacrimal gland tumor with a biopsy consistent with multiple myeloma. Systemic disease evaluation at that time, including positron emission tomography scan, bone marrow biopsy, and serum analysis, were negative. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no prior reports exist describing an isolated lacrimal gland recurrence of multiple myeloma with ultrasound and MRI imaging.
