Thorough transcranial and transf acial approach, the cancer was separated from sorrounding tissue with safety margin and removed en-bloc. The skull base was reconstructed using the rectus abdominis muscle flap, which filled the orbit after exenteration of orbit. She is alive NED after 21 months after surgery.
