A 57-year-old woman presented with protrusion of the OS 2 months in duration and decreased vision 1 month in duration. The patient was diagnosed with uterine leiomyosarcoma approximately 3 years before presentation. Lung and liver metastases were diagnosed by biopsy 1 year prior to this visit. CT revealed a solid mass with central necrosis in the left lateral orbit that resulted in orbital shifting, bony destruction, and intracranial extension. The diagnosis was left orbital metastatic leiomyosarcoma, and the patient died 2 months after receiving the diagnosis.
