An Bras Dermatol. 2017;92(5 Suppl 1):118-120. doi: 10.1590/abd1806-4841.20174990.

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.
