Although liposarcoma is the most prevalent soft tissue sarcoma in adults, head and neck liposarcomas are rare and account for less than 5% of all liposarcomas. The primary orbital location is even more exceptional, with fewer than 100 cases documented in the medical literature. Given the scarcity of cases of orbital liposarcoma and the limited familiarity of physicians and pathologists with this pathology, there is an increased risk of non-diagnosis or misdiagnosis, which may lead to inappropriate patient management. To address these challenges, we present a case of primary orbital myxoid liposarcoma and subsequently discuss the primary findings of this case based on the evidence documented in the medical literature. This comprehensive text is designed to serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and pathologists, with the goal of promoting both clinical suspicion and accurate diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition in future cases.
虽然脂肪肉瘤是成年人中最常见的软组织肉瘤,但发生在头颈部的脂肪肉瘤却很少见,不到所有脂肪肉瘤的 5%。原发于眶内的位置更为特殊,在医学文献中记录的病例不足 100 例。鉴于眶内脂肪肉瘤病例稀少,且医生和病理学家对这种病理的了解有限,因此存在诊断不明确或误诊的风险,这可能导致患者的治疗不当。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了一个原发于眶内的黏液样脂肪肉瘤的病例,并根据文献中的证据讨论了这个病例的主要发现。这份全面的文本旨在为医疗保健专业人员和病理学家提供有价值的资源,目标是在未来的病例中提高对这种罕见疾病的临床怀疑和准确诊断及治疗。
