Can J Ophthalmol. 2007 Jun;42(3):481-3.

Abstract

Case report: Only 21 cases of primary orbital liposarcoma have been previously published. We report two such rare cases in a 50-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman.

Comments: The diagnosis is usually established after histopathologic examination. This paper also describes clinical and radiologic features and gives a brief review of the literature.
