  • Title: [Extraconal solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit].
    Author: von Lovenberg E, Kedziora O, Wolf HK, Bankfalvi A.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2013 Apr; 110(4):357-9. PubMed ID: 22972174.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare spindle cell neoplasms derived from specialized fibroblasts. This tumor was first described in the pleura and later in the whole body including the orbit. Although an SFT is generally a benign tumor malignant transformation and metastasization have also been observed in a few cases. Complete excision is the therapy of choice. Here we report on a 50-year-old male patient whose orbital SFT was removed by transconjunctival anterior orbitotomy and 1.5 years after the operation the patient is recurrence and complaint-free.
