Abstract
We reported a 7-month-old female with intraorbital Ewing’s sarcoma. Infantile Ewing’s sarcoma is rare and its prognosis is poor. Ewing’s sarcoma of orbital origin is even rare. There has been only 1 case of infantile intraorbital Ewing’s sarcoma reported, and only 5 infantile primary orbital ESFTs (Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors) have been reported. Among these 5 cases, 2 infants who did not receive multimodal therapy died, whereas 3 who received multimodal therapy demonstrated long-term survival. The present case was also treated with multimodal therapy consisting of surgery, chemotherapy, and proton beam radiotherapy. There is no recurrence at 15 months follow-up. No specific treatment strategies have been established yet, and accumulation of cases is necessary. Ewing’s sarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of infantile intraorbital tumors.
