Abstract

Primary orbital adenocarcinoma is very rare. There are not any reports about the treatment of this disease, except for surgery. We experienced a case of primary orbital adenocarcinoma, which we successfully treated by chemoradiation using 5-FU and cisplatin. It is very important to collect and record cases of rare diseases responding to certain chemotherapy regimens.
