Primary apocrine adenocarcinoma (PAA) originating from the orbit is a rare malignant neoplasm. We present the case of a 61-year-old-male with PAA of the orbit. The patient underwent a right orbital exenteration, neck dissection, and adjuvant radiotherapy. Orbital exenteration is commonly performed as the primary intervention for PAA of the orbit. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy to prevent local recurrence is unclear and may be determined on a case-by-case basis.
