Abstract:
Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of smooth muscle, that rarely occurs in the orbit. It has previously been reported mainly in older persons and is characterized by frequent local recurrences and metastatic lesions. The authors report a case of orbital leiomyosarcoma in a 29 year old male that we believe was fully excised.
