Abstract:

Introduction:

Ewing's sarcoma is seen primarily in children and young adults, more common in boys. Tumors developed from the bones of the face represent less than 5% of all cases of Ewing's sarcoma.
Observation:
A 16-year-old patient with no notable pathological history, who consulted for headache, a binocular diplopia.
Radiological exploration by magnetic resonance imaging objective a lesional process centered on the large wing of the sphenoid and the upper wall of the right orbit, the bony origin is primarily a sarcoma.
The patient received a biopsy, which pathological examination with immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of orbital Ewing sarcoma.
The interest of this file lies in the unusual location of the tumor.
 
Conclusion:
Ewing's sarcoma requires management depending on the different locations.
Curative radiotherapy is widely used in this location but cannot compensate for limited surgery.
