Metastatic Retroperitoneal Leiomyosarcoma to the Right Lower Eyelid Presenting as a Chalazion
This case of metastatic LMS to the eyelid mimicking a chalazion is rare, as only six other cases have been described previously. Our case contributes to this discussion by highlighting the importance of considering metastatic disease and performing a full-thickness biopsy in a patient presenting with a non-resolving eyelid chalazion. Recognizing tumor spread to the eyelid can be an important step in the diagnosis, surveillance, and management of metastatic LMS.
