Eyelid metastasis as presenting feature of disseminated leiomyosarcoma – A rare case report()

Soft tissue sarcomas with smooth muscle differentiation are termed leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma is an aggressive tumor commonly originating from smooth muscle cells of uterus or retro peritoneal areas. Distant metastasis occurs by hematogenous route to liver and lung. Eyelid metastasis without involvement of other ocular structures is extremely rare. A case of eyelid metastasis which on extensive investigations was proved to be from upper gastrointestinal tract leiomyosarcoma is reported here.
