{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: To describe a series of eight adult patients with primary orbital sarcoma and to review the existing literature on orbital sarcoma and post-irradiation sarcoma.
UNASSIGNED: Report of eight cases and literature review.
UNASSIGNED: We report eight cases of primary orbital sarcoma, three of which were radiation-induced. Only one patient had a history of retinoblastoma. The most common presentations were painful proptosis and reduced vision. Most tumours arose in the extraconal compartment. The overall median age at diagnosis was 50 years. The pathology comprised a diverse group of tumours. Treatment and outcome varied between patients and their clinical circumstances.
UNASSIGNED: Adult primary orbital sarcomas are rare. They can comprise a variety of tumour types and are difficult to treat. Irradiation is a significant risk factor, and the incidence of post-irradiation sarcoma of the orbit may be increasing due to the widespread use of radiotherapy and improved survival of patients with cancer. Post-irradiation sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an orbital space-occupying lesion in a patient with a history of radiotherapy.
