A 60 year old female presented with painful orbital mass arising from right lower eye lid for last 3 months. CECT of PNS reveals enhancing mass with lobulated contour in the anterolateral aspect of right orbit involving lateral rectus. MRI of orbits was suggestive of possibility of malignant mass, FNAC of the mass was done & it shows cyto-morphological features suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma. Patient underwent wide local excision of right eye followed by temporalis ap. On gross examination of the specimens it measured (5.5×5×3.5) c.m and the whole orbit was distorted. On microscopic examination of the mass shows features of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (conjunctiva) involving whole anterior chamber with lacrimal gland inltration with TNM staging T4aNXMX.The prevalence of ocular squamous cell carcinoma are 0.09% and 2.42 cases/1000000 populations. Therefore this has been chosen for presentation due to its rarity.
