    Abstract:
    To report a case of chondrosarcoma of right big toe with left orbital and left infra temporal metastases. Chondrosarcoma is the second most frequent primary malignant tumour of the bone. A 56 year old man had history of trauma on his right big toe, which was amputated and the biopsy in 2011 at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) revealed chondrosarcoma with clear margins. Eventually the patient was presented with swelling of the left eye, pain and gradual loss of vision of that eye. Later a CT scan of his chest, brain and orbit showed pulmonary and pleural based nodule, with mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy representing metastatic deposit in left orbit, extending to left infra temporal region. A treatment of palliative chemotherapy was started with doxorubicin and ifosfamide, after which he was referred for radiotherapy. At that time he had loss of vision, pain and exopthalamus, and palliative radiotherapy was delivered to the left orbit with the prescribed dose of30 Gy/300cGy×10 fraction. Thereafter his case will be followed up at the oncology OPD after a 03 month interval.
