Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ewing sarcoma is a rare bone and soft tissue tumor.
  • Primary orbital Ewing sarcoma is exceptionally rare, particularly in adults.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old patient presented with proptosis and limited upgaze.
  • Imaging revealed a superior orbital mass extending into the anterior cranial and temporal fossae.
  • Histopathology showed small, poorly differentiated cells with positive staining for O-13 and vimentin.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
  • Clinical symptoms resolved, with no evidence of residual tumor or metastasis post-treatment.
  • Immunohistochemistry was crucial for differentiating Ewing sarcoma from other small round cell tumors.

Implications:

  • Orbital Ewing sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital masses in young individuals.
  • Prompt diagnosis and multimodal treatment are essential for favorable outcomes.
  • Immunohistochemistry plays a vital role in accurate diagnosis.
