Author describes 21-years-old patient with ASPS grade III in lower part of right upper extremity and it metastases to intercranial area especially orbita area causes right eye protopsis following with severe pain (Visual Analog Scale 6-7) with good condition of visus. Patient had been treated to take patient’s tissue by biopsy several times because it is hard to scoring histopathophysiologically and then patient had been treated with radiotherapy. Although, there is no significantly change in patient condition. Overall mass in orbita, intracranial, and upper extremity. So, patient is suffering significant patient and lowering visus. This is caused by lowering Karnofsky performance Scale (KPS). With this reason, patient cannot be treated by chemotherapy. Patient is rehospitalized for overall condition repairment and pain treatment, including giving radiotherapy to mass in patient’s upper extremity. ASPS patient survival rate with brain metastases is low. Patient can survive approximately only 12 month from patient had been positively diagnosed with ASPS.
