ABSTRACT
Although liposarcoma is the most prevalent soft tissue sarcoma in adults, head and neck liposarcomas are rare and account for less than 5% of all liposarcomas. The primary orbital location is even more exceptional, with fewer than 100 cases documented in the medical literature. Given the scarcity of cases of orbital liposarcoma and the limited familiarity of physicians and pathologists with this pathology, there is an increased risk of non-diagnosis or misdiagnosis, which may lead to inappropriate patient management. To address these challenges, we present a case of primary orbital myxoid liposarcoma and subsequently discuss the primary findings of this case based on the evidence documented in the medical literature. This comprehensive text is designed to serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and pathologists, with the goal of promoting both clinical suspicion and accurate diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition in future cases.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 63 años que cursó con un hidrocistoma apócrino múltiplo bilateral y de ambos párpados, de 8 años de evolución y cuyos tumores le fueron extirpados quirúrgicamente. El cuadro clínico es característico excepto por su multiplicidad. Los hallazgos histopatológicos son muy característicos, se analiza su relación con otras neoplasias similares originadas en otras glándulas palpebrales
