Myxofibrosarcoma is rarely found in the orbit, let alone as a primary orbital tumor. With this having only been previously reported 5 times in the literature, there is a very limited understanding of its presentation and course. Typical management involves surgical excision with or without postoperative radiotherapy. Low-grade malignancy, although rare to metastasize, still has a high rate of local recurrence and with each recurrence increases the risk of metastatic potential. With this in mind, analysis of each case is critical in better understanding the disease, and this case adds to the current literature. |
