Los leiomiomas son lesiones de lento crecimiento originarias del músculo liso. La localización orbitaria solo ha sido descrita en 25 casos. Sus características histológicas y la ausencia de recurrencia tras la resección total apoyan su comportamiento benigno. Presentamos un caso de hemangioleiomioma intraconal en una mujer de 55años tratado quirúrgicamente mediante craneotomía fronto-orbitaria con resección total y sin recurrencia de la lesión tras 15meses de seguimiento. Se discuten los hallazgos histológicos y radiológicos, enfatizando en el papel pronóstico de la cirugía.
Leiomyoma are slowly growing lesions arising from smooth muscle. Orbital location has been reported in 25 cases. Histological findings and no recurrence after total resection support their benign behaviour. We report an intraconal orbital haemangioleiomyoma in a 55-year-old female treated by total resection through fronto-orbital craniotomy, with no recurrence after 15 months of follow-up. Radiological and pathological features are discussed, emphasising the prognostic role of the surgery.
