Abstract
The case of a 59-year-old patient is described who presented with a left-sided pressure sensation in the left orbit and exophthalmus with a proud bulbus. The limited bulbus motility led to double vision. A preoperative MRI showed a space-occupying lesion in the left medial orbit. The morphological and immunohistochemical findings led to the diagnosis of a primary ductal carcinoma resembling salivary duct carcinoma (SDC). The tumor could be removed without compromising the eye. The patient suffers no side-effects or recurrences 12 months later.
