Abstract
CAMPOS ARBULU, Ana L et al. Carcinoma escamoso primario de órbita. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.1, pp.37-39. ISSN 0025-7680.
Primary orbital squamous cell carcinoma is a rare entity. There is little published literature. We report a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the orbital soft tissues. Surgical resection offered the best treatment for the patient. Complete resection of the lesion was achieved. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy due to the proximity of the lesion to the surgical margins. Surgical treatment is feasible and should be considered as part of the surgeon´s arsenal. However, therapeutic decisions must be made on a case-by-case basis.
