Summary:Primary dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the orbit is a rare condition. A 41-year-old man presented with a history of right ophthalmalgia with eye movement and exophthalmos that had developed 2 months earlier. Neuroimages revealed a right orbital mass located above the superior rectus muscle. Tumor resection through the right frontal craniotomy was performed. Histopathologic findings showed the dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Primary orbital dedifferentiated liposarcomas remain challenging for their diagnosis and standard treatment. Clinicians should keep in mind the possibility of liposarcoma with orbital tumors.
