Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Orbit

Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) have been reported in various locations in the body. Solitary fibrous tumors are extremely rare tumors, especially when located in the orbit. Diagnosis of SFT cannot be made based on histopathology only because it exhibits a variable microscopic appearance, and necessitates immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man was admitted to our clinic for the evaluation of a mass bulging in his left eye. Clinical examination revealed a painless mass extruding out of … Show more

“…These tumours predominantly localise in the superior part of the orbit and are usually not associated with features of pain or nerve entrapments [4]. Tumour invasion into adjacent bone or soft tissue is also uncharacteristic although recurrent tumours have been reported to invade the surrounding tissues as was seen in our patient.…”

“…Our literature search reviewed that only two of the five documented malignant orbital SFTs cases exhibited aggressive behavior, one of which had a recurrence whereas the other one had a local invasion. 7 , 25 , 44 , 48 , 49 Some tumors with malignant histologic findings remained indolent, whereas other tumors with completely benign histologic findings behaved aggressively. The aggressive behavior of orbital SFTs is defined by a local invasion, recurrence, and distant metastases.…”

“…The aggressive behavior of orbital SFTs is defined by a local invasion, recurrence, and distant metastases. 7 , 29 , 44 , 46 , 50 54 Nineteen of the 21 recurrent orbital SFTs were histologically benign. Young and Hardy reported a histologically benign orbital SFT case that invaded intracranial tissues.…”

“…These include eyelid and eyebrow reconstruction, [1][2][3][4] anophthalmic socket reconstruction, 5 repair of superior sulcus deformity 6 and reconstruction after exenteration. 7 The TPF lies just under the scalp and provides thin and pliable coverage for a variety of craniofacial defects. Its advantages include a dependable blood supply, anatomic consistency, tolerance for a large degree of rotation, minimal donor site morbidity, and a large size available for harvest.…”
