Periorbital leiomyosarcoma treated by means of conventional surgery and frontal myocutaneous flap* * Study conducted at Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (HULW-UFPB) - João Pessoa (PB), Brazil.

Abstract

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a rare neoplasia, and its periorbital presentation is rather uncommon. We present a case of a male patient who was surgically treated, with the reconstruction performed with a frontal myocutaneous flap. The patient has been followed up for one year with adequate oncologic control and good aesthetic outcome.
