Orbital leiomyoma, a rare smooth muscle tumor, was surgically removed from a 56-year-old man. Follow-up confirmed no recurrence, indicating a favorable prognosis for this benign orbital tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Leiomyomas are benign tumors originating from smooth muscle tissue.
  • They most commonly occur in the uterus and gastrointestinal tract.
  • Orbital leiomyomas are exceptionally rare due to the limited smooth muscle in the orbit.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 56-year-old male patient presenting with an orbital leiomyoma.
  • Clinical and pathological findings were systematically reviewed.
  • Surgical intervention involved a lateral orbitotomy.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the leiomyoma's smooth muscle origin with positive results for actin and desmin.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence of the orbital tumor during a two-year follow-up period.

  • Leiomyoma was confirmed as a benign, fully encapsulated orbital tumor.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering leiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of encapsulated orbital tumors.
    • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for orbital leiomyoma.
    • The favorable prognosis following complete surgical removal is supported by this case study.
