Primary cranial Ewing's sarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor. Primary temporal bone Ewing's sarcoma with intraorbital extension is also a very rare condition. In this article we describe a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma of the temporal bone which extended into intracranial, extracranial and intraorbital compartments; manifesting with a swelling in the zygomatic fossa and proptosis of the right eye. The tumor was excised partially, and the patient underwent radiochemotherapy. The patient died 6 months after the therapy, with lung metastasis. The case is discussed with the pertinent literature.
