Abstract
To report a case of spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the orbit. Case report. A 78-year-old man presented with progressive redness, proptosis, and decreasing vision of the left eye of 3 weeks' duration. Computed tomography revealed an intraconal mass (1.5 x 2 cm) inferior to and displacing the left optic nerve. A left lateral orbitotomy was performed, and a well-demarcated mass was removed from the surrounding tissue. A follow-up computed tomography of the chest and abdomen was consistent with metastatic disease to the lungs and liver. Spermatic cord leiomyosarcoma is a rare cause of metastatic lesions to the orbit.
