Samenvatting

PURPOSE: To describe the radiologic, histopathologic, and cytogenetic features of an orbital chondrosarcoma developing in a patient with Paget disease.

METHODS: A 64-year-old woman presented with rapidly progressive proptosis of her right eye. Computed tomographic scans, histopathologic examination, and cytogenetic analysis were performed.

RESULTS: Computed tomographic scans disclosed osseous changes of the temporal and frontal bones, with areas of high density consistent with Paget disease. A soft-tissue tumor in the right lateral orbital wall was consistent with Paget sarcoma. On histology, a chondrosarcoma was diagnosed, which was confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization.

CONCLUSION: This is a unique case of orbital chondrosarcoma developing in a patient with Paget disease.
