The patient was discussed at the tumor board on March 2013. The board recommended palliative radiation to the orbit, effective pain control regimen, and other necessary measures. Due to poor general condition, orbital radiotherapy was not possible, but he received other palliative measures. The disease was progressed and patients passed away within 2 months.
