A 20-year-old woman presented with a rare case of intraorbital mesenchymal chondrosarcoma manifesting as a 6-month history of progressive ptosis and exophthalmos of her left eye. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a partially calcified round mass occupying the postbulbar space. Partial removal of the tumor via a left fronto-orbital approach was performed. The histological diagnosis was mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and additional intraorbital exenteration was performed. Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy was performed. She was free from tumor recurrence at the 6-year follow-up examination. Radical resection, including exenteration if possible, is recommended for intraorbital mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.

“…Skin lesions may originate from a pre-existing contiguous lesion such as a neighboring mucosa, from the hematogenous dissemination of the fungus, or rarely, from the direct inoculation of P. brasiliensis into the skin [9]. As neither previous visible lesion nor history of local trauma was reported by our patient, we hypothesize that the eyelid lesion was from hematogenous dissemination, although no evident pulmonary infection was detected.…”

“…Approximately 43% of these lesions are ulcerated, 26% are infiltrative, 21% are papulous-nodal-tumoral, 7.3% vegetant or verrucous-vegetant, and 2% are abscessed lesions [9]. Belfort Jr. et al [10] reported the most common eyelid and conjunctival findings in PCM from their experience as: eyelid ulcerated lesions with hemorrhagic features that can involve lacrimal ducts, palpebral edema and hyperemia due to local tissue destruction, diffuse conjunctival hyperemia sometimes with purulent secretion due to secondary infection, and painless cervical, pre-auricular or submandibular lymphadenopathy.…”

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in immunocompetent individuals in Brazil. Ocular infection by PCM is rare; however, when infection does occur, the most common ocular sites involved are eyelid and conjunctiva. A 68-year-old white male presented with a 2-month history of a painless, ulcerated, infiltrative and diffuse whitish lesion located on the right inferior eyelid. A clinical diagnosis of malignant tumor, possibly squamous cell carcinoma, was made. The histopathologic examination showed a hyperplastic epithelium with inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils and histiocytes. Large numbers of giant cells were also present. Periodic acid Schiff and Grocott (silver methenamine) stains showed several large round structures with peripheral lateral small budding cells that resembled a "ship's wheel". No multinucleated fungi were seen. The fungi varied in size and small forms were round and single fungal structures. A diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis was made PCM eyelid infection is rare and can simulate carcinoma both clinically and histopathologically.

“…Orbital wall tumor is rare, but a variety of primary and secondary tumors involving the orbital wall have been reported [1,2]. Intradiploic meningioma is another rare tumor [3,4].…”

“…The Tl SPECT findings in our patient were comparable to those of patients with benign meningioma showing high blood flow and low malignancy. Rapidly growing skull tumors, such as chondrosarcoma, sometimes occur in the orbital wall [1,2]. Chondrosarcoma is an aggressive tumor with a high tendency for recurrence and is capable of distant metastasis.…”

Orbital wall tumor and intradiploic meningioma are rare tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine findings in the cases of orbital intradiploic meningioma have rarely been reported. A 46-year-old man presented with gradually appearing exophthalmos. MR and nuclear medicine findings revealed intradiploic tumor on the lateral orbital wall. The patient underwent total tumor resection and final pathological diagnosis was benign meningioma. This case highlights the importance of pathological conformation before performing extensive surgery. Thallium single-photon emission computed tomography is a valuable technique for distinguishing intradiploic benign meningioma from other malignant tumors.

Primary orbital mesenchymal chondrosarcoma: a case report and literature review

Abstract: Although rare, MC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a well-circumscribed orbital lesion in young adults, especially when CT scans reveal areas of calcification within the tumor.
