  ABSTRACT: Purpose: To report a retro-orbital localization of Multiple Myeloma (MM) describing its treatment and clinical result. Case report: A 50-years-old male patient with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evidence of a retro-orbital mass with exophthalmos, due to the pathological diagnosis of MM, was referred for Radiation Therapy (RT). Discussion: The orbital involvement in Multiple Myeloma is rare and few cases are reported in the literature. The treatment of choice is RT alone with a prescribed dose ranging between 40 Gy and 45 Gy. In our patient the retro-orbital lesion, measuring 26 × 16 mm, was treated with Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Technique (IMRT) delivering 4400 cGy with conventional fractionation. The treatment was well tolerated, the patient experienced a complete regression of the exophthalmos without any significant side effect.
