A 45-year-old, otherwise healthy woman presented with mild epiphora and a palpable mass in the lacrimal sac area. After transcutaneus orbitotomy and complete excision histopathology revealed a primary Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans invading the orbit. During the 24-months follow-up, no recurrence occurred. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a primary DFSP with the orbit involved.
