Orbital angiosarcoma is a rare but aggressive cancer. Early diagnosis and surgical removal offer successful treatment outcomes, as demonstrated in this case study.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Orbital angiosarcoma is a rare vascular tumor with aggressive behavior.
  • Understanding its pathogenesis, natural history, and histopathology is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 71-year-old male with a left medial canthal mass.
  • Initial presentation included bluish discoloration and swelling.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via fine needle aspiration and excisional biopsy.

Findings:

  • Histopathology and radiographic imaging confirmed primary orbital angiosarcoma.
  • The patient underwent wide surgical resection and orbital reconstruction.
  • Six-year follow-up showed no evidence of tumor recurrence.
