%X Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are common soft tissue tumors in the body. Primary orbital and conjunctival LMS are, however, rare. Herein, we describe the diverse clinical presentations, histopathological features, and management outcomes of three cases of primary LMS of the conjunctiva and one case of primary orbital LMS. The first patient was a 40-year-old female with primary orbital LMS who developed recurrence following wide local excision. The remaining three cases were primary conjunctival LMS. All four patients underwent orbital exenteration and were disease-free at a mean follow-up period of 18.64 months. LMS is known for local recurrences and metastasis. Complete surgical excision and prompt adjuvant radiotherapy can improve the prognosis.
