title: [Childhood liposarcoma of the eyelid--a case report].
abstract: An 11-year-old girl noted a small mass on the left upper eyelid. The tumor was excised and diagnosed as round cell-type liposarcoma. In spite of intensive multimodal therapy, the tumor tended to recur, metastasizing to the central nervous system and soft tissues. The patient died of progressive disease three years after diagnosis. Features unique to this case include the ophthalmological primary site, the age at onset, the histological subtype and the mode of metastasis.
