The median age was 62 years (range 34-88 years), and 11 (52%) were females. Eighteen (84%) had a known diagnosis of MM prior to their orbital presentation, with all patients eventually being diagnosed with systemic MM. Thirteen (72%) were receiving active treatment for systemic myeloma on presentation, while 3 (17%) were in remission. All but 1 had unilateral orbital involvement (n = 20, 95%). Common presenting symptoms and signs were decreased visual acuity (n = 13, 62%), proptosis (n = 11, 52%), limited motility (n = 15, 71%), and optic neuropathy (n = 5, 24%). Radiologically, 15 (71%) involved the superotemporal orbit, 7 (33%) inferotemporal orbit, and 16 (76%) involved ≥1 extraocular muscle. Sixteen (76%) were biopsied and confirmed orbital plasmacytoma on histopathology. Treatment modalities included intravenous and oral steroids (n = 7, 33%), chemotherapy (n = 9, 43%), radiotherapy (n = 13, 62%), stem cell transplant (n = 3, 14%), and surgical debulking and decompression (n = 3, 14%). Mortality was high, with 15 (71%) having MM-related mortality.CONCLUSIONSThis is the largest cohort of Australian data on orbital plasmacytomas. Most patients have a diagnosis of systemic MM at presentation. It is crucial to recognize and treat these patients early due to a poor systemic prognosis.","PeriodicalId":19588,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to elucidate the clinical presentation and histopathologic findings surrounding periorbital ILPG through a case presentation and literature review. We describe a 42-year-old male with a palpable periorbital subcutaneous nodule that was subsequently diagnosed as ILPG on immunohistochemistry. A literature review was performed by searching articles in the PubMed/MEDLINE database using the keywords \"periorbital intravenous lobular pyogenic granuloma,\" \"periorbital intravenous pyogenic granuloma,\" or \"periorbital intravenous capillary hemangioma.\" The literature review identified 6 patients presenting with similar subcutaneous nodules that were diagnosed as periorbital ILPGs. All patients, including the one in this study, were treated with local excision. Only 1 patient (1/7; 14.3%) noted pain while 5 experienced swelling or fluctuance (5/7; 71.4%). In patients with documented pathology reports, all ILPGs involved the angular vein (6/6; 100%). Of the 3 patients who had follow-ups at 2 to 7 years postexcision, none had recurrence. Histopathologic findings demonstrate an intravascular lobular tumor composed of capillaries with endothelial cells and pericytes. Marked reactivity to anti-Wilms tumor type 1 (WT-1) and anti-Smooth muscle actin was noted in the capillary structure. ILPG can be included on the differential for well-circumscribed, subcutaneous periocular masses. While the etiology of periorbital ILPG is unknown, most cases are managed with surgical excision, and recurrence appears to be uncommon. In sharing these cases and histopathologic underpinnings of periorbital ILPG, we endeavor to describe this peculiar pathology for oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeons.","PeriodicalId":19588,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bedside nasal endoscopy can substantiate the diagnosis but can also yield false negative results. Initially, these patients may present to the ophthalmologist. Thus, to avoid visual and potentially life-threatening complications, subtle clinical signs in conjunction with suspicious radiographic features must be promptly recognized by the ophthalmologist and escalated appropriately.
