    Author: Hailu Y, Schneider J, T/Giorgis AT, Bayu S, Adamu Y.
    Journal: Ethiop Med J; 2008 Jul; 46(3):281-5. PubMed ID: 19271394.
    Abstract:
    Liposarcoma of the head and neck is rarely reported Orbital and eye lid involvement has been found to be extremely rare. A 25 year old male patient from Harar presented with left eyelid mass of two years duration and diagnosed to have liposarcoma by incisional biopsy. Despite the difficulty in obtaining wide surgical margins, the small tumor size at presentation and the apparent predominance of well-differentiated type means that the prognosis for orbital liposarcoma was generally good. The epidemiological, clinical feature and histological findings are discussed. It is recommended to consider liposarcoma as a differential diagnosis of orbital mass lesions.
