A rare eyelid tumor, leiomyosarcoma, was diagnosed in an elderly woman. Surgical removal and radiation therapy successfully treated the cancer, with no recurrence observed after three years.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Dermatopathology

Background:

Eyelid tumors are uncommon, and leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm originating from smooth muscle tissue.
Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of eyelid malignancies.

Observation:

An 84-year-old female patient presented with a right upper eyelid nodule that had been present for one month.
An incisional biopsy was performed to evaluate the nodule.

Findings:

The biopsy results confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, a rare smooth muscle tumor.
The patient underwent wide surgical excision of the tumor followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

Implications:

This case highlights the successful management of a rare eyelid leiomyosarcoma in an elderly patient.
