Abstract

The adenoid cystic carcinoma in the orbit is rare, but is the most common in the malignancy of the orbit. The clinical signs are proptosis with displacement of the globe downward and inward, limitation of ocular movements and diplopia. The diplopia and ocular pain is due to the tumor metastasis to the extraocular mescle and nerve sheath. The authors have experienced a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the right orbit in a 72-year-old man.
