Purpose: We report a case of multiple extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the choroid and conjunctiva as a sign of multiple myeloma (MM) relapse. Methods: An observational case report with clinicopathologic correlation is presented. Results: A 45-year-old man with a 2.5-year history of MM presented with left eye pain. Examination revealed a conjunctival nodule and choroidal infiltrate in the left eye. Excisional biopsy demonstrated plasmacytoma of the conjunctiva and choroid. Despite radiotherapy and chemotherapy, multiple EMP recurred and the patient died 8 months after initial presentation. Conclusions: Multiple EMP of the choroid and conjunctiva has a poor prognosis and can present as a sign of MM relapse. Our imaging demonstrates the clinical manifestations of this tumor and can aid future diagnoses. Our radiation dose (20 Gy) was inadequate, which is an important reportable factor for future patients.
