Abstract

Purpose: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a very rare type of soft tissue sarcomas which usually occurs in the limbs and trunk. Observations: A 25-year-old woman presented with proptosis and redness of the right eye for 8-month. She suffered from severe right upper lid edema, conjunctival chemosis, downward displacement of the globe, and proptosis. Radiological imaging was nonconclusive. Histopathological evaluations confirmed ASPS. The patient underwent exenteration as a lifesaving procedure. At 16-month follow-up, the patient is stable without any signs of recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions and importance: We report an extremely rare case of ASPS occurring in the superior rectus muscle. Few orbital ASPS cases have been reported in the literature. A literature review of orbital ASPS was done to shed lights on the diagnosis and management of this rare tumor. © 2022
