Eight years ago a cat sustained injury to the left globe and phthisis bulbi ensued. Two months prior to presentation, a firm intraorbital and periorbital mass developed and enucleation was done; histologic examination revealed osteogenic sarcoma. This is the first histologically documented report of osteosarcoma occurring in association with phthisis bulbi.
