Liposarcoma is among the most common adult histotypes of soft tissue sarcoma. It usually arises from the deep soft tissue of the extremities or the retroperitoneum. Despite the high content of fat in the orbit, both benign and malignant tumors of adipose tissue are extremely rare at this site; reports describing liposarcoma metastatic to the orbit are rare. Our report is a new case and the appropriate methods for diagnosis and treatment of this unusual metastatic site in this type of cancer are discussed.
脂肪肉瘤是成人软组织肉瘤中最常见的组织学类型之一。它通常起源于四肢深部软组织或腹膜后。尽管眼眶脂肪含量高，但该部位的脂肪组织良性和恶性肿瘤都极为罕见；描述脂肪肉瘤转移至眼眶的报道很少。我们的报告是一例新病例，并讨论了针对这类癌症这种不寻常转移部位的诊断和治疗的适当方法。
