    Abstract:
    An intra-conical histologically malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit presented in a 28 year-old female with intact vision and exophthalmos. Total resection was achieved by means of a frontal craniotomy and orbital roof osteotomy. Evidence of a beneficial role for adjuvant treatments in this particular tumor is controversial and vision impairment is a possible side effect. Therefore they were not employed. The patient is well after two years of follow-up.
