Primary yolk sac tumor of the orbit is a rare entity. Orbital involvement is usually seen in young children and proptosis is the commonest presentation. Aggressive orbital involvement and presentation as a fungating mass is rarely seen. We report a case of primary orbital yolk sac tumor with an aggressive presentation that responded well to systemic chemotherapy.
