Аннотация
PURPOSE: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an aggressive tumor with a high metastatic rate that rarely metastasizes to the periocular region.
METHODS: A 50-year-old male with a previous two-year history of primary stage IV LMS presented with metastatic retroperitoneal LMS, which was initially incorrectly described as an eyelid chalazion refractory to medical management. An excisional biopsy sent to pathology revealed metastatic retroperitoneum LMS. There was resolution of ocular irritation following biopsy, and an oncology referral was made.
CONCLUSION: This case of metastatic LMS to the eyelid mimicking a chalazion is rare, as only six other cases have been described previously. Our case contributes to this discussion by highlighting the importance of considering metastatic disease and performing a full-thickness biopsy in a patient presenting with a non-resolving eyelid chalazion. Recognizing tumor spread to the eyelid can be an important step in the diagnosis, surveillance, and management of metastatic LMS.
