ABSTRACT
Este manuscrito presenta un caso de un leiomioma orbitario de larga evolución en un joven de 14años. El tumor era inusualmente grande y causaba una proptosis severa y una afectación importante de la musculatura ocular. El paciente presentaba amaurosis, una oftalmoplejía completa, dolor ocular espontáneo e incapacidad para cerrar los párpados. Debido al tamaño del tumor y a su progresión, se realizó una exenteración orbitaria derecha para eliminar todo el contenido orbitario, incluyendo el tumor y el globo ocular. El procedimiento quirúrgico tenía como objetivo prevenir la recurrencia del tumor y mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente. El análisis histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de leiomioma orbitario. Este caso presenta un interés particular por el grado de evolución que ha alcanzado. La extirpación completa del tumor y un seguimiento a largo plazo son necesarios para prevenir la recurrencia y garantizar resultados óptimos para el paciente. Además, este caso refleja las grandes diferencias en el acceso a la sanidad en las diferentes regiones del mundo. (AU)
This manuscript describes an exceptional case of a long-standing orbital leiomyoma in a 14-year-old male. The tumor was unusually large, causing severe proptosis and significant involvement of the ocular muscles. The patient presented with amaurosis, complete ophthalmoplegia, spontaneous eye pain, and the inability to close the eyelids, leading to psychological distress. Due to the tumor's size and progression, a right orbital exenteration was performed to remove all orbital contents, including the tumor and the eyeball. The surgical procedure aimed to prevent tumor recurrence and improve the patient's quality of life. The histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of orbital leiomyoma. This case presents a particular interest due to the degree of evolution it has reached. Complete tumor excision and long-term follow-up are necessary to prevent recurrence and ensure optimal patient outcomes. This report underscores global healthcare disparities and the complexity of managing rare orbital neoplasms in diverse country settings. (AU)
