Abstract

Leiomyisarcomas are rarely encounter ed in otolaryngological practice and primary lesions of the bone are rarer still. Until 1982 only 20 documented cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of bone had been reported (Kratochvil, 1982). In eight of these cases the tumour occurred in the mandible or maxilla. Orbital involvement is extremely uncommon, only five cases having been reported so far (Wojno et al, 1983). In the English literature available to date we have been unable to find any case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the zygoma, additionally involving the orbit. Our experience with such a case is being reported.
