Leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare form of cancer most commonly found in the uterus, stomach, small intestine, retroperitoneum, and vascular tissue. Metastasis is common and surgery with a wide margin of resection is generally considered the most effective management. Leiomyosarcomas, metastatic or primary, of the orbit have rarely been reported. Herein, we report the case of a 51-year-old female with metastatic orbital leiomyosarcoma. The diagnosis was based on her history of leipmyosarcoma, orbital ultrasonography, and computed tomography and confirmed by postoperative histochemistry. She was treated with surgical excision and has remained without recurrence 1 year after surgery.
