Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinomas (SCs) are a variant of squamous cell carcinomas. They are extremely uncommon in the orbit. In the English literature, we reported Only 9 cases with orbital origin of this tumors. The prognosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma is extremely poor and the disease is usually clinically advanced at presentation. Currently, there is no consensus for the treatment of this variant malignant neoplasm. The treatment should be aggressive, and frequently yield poor results. We present a case of 42 years old male with orbital sarcomatoid carcinoma.
