Orbital leiomyosarcoma metastasis presenting prior to diagnosis of the primary tumor. Rasool, N., Lefebvre, D. R., Latina, M. A., Dunn, I. F., Santagata, S., Freitag, S. K., & Cestari, D. M. Digital journal of ophthalmology: DJO, 23(4):22–26, 2017.

Leiomyosarcomas, neoplasms of smooth muscle, are rarely found within the orbit. Orbital leiomyosarcoma may be primary, metastatic, or secondary to radiation. When they are metastatic, patients almost exclusively have a history of a primary leiomyosarcoma, often occurring in the spermatic cord, skin, gastrointestinal tract, or the uterus. We present the case of 48-year-old woman who presented with a metastatic orbital leiomyosarcoma, which was identified before the primary tumor.
