Abstract

A 47-year-old man presented with a three-month history of gradual loss of vision decreasing to light perception, exotropia, and proptosis of his right eye. A computerized tomography (CT) scan showed an orbital tumor mass compressing the optic nerve from the temporal side. The patient underwent partial excision of the mass; the histological diagnosis was Ewing's sarcoma. Immunohistochemical staining, especially CD-99, aided in reaching the diagnosis. The patient was treated by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with good response. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of primary orbital Ewing's sarcoma in an adult.
