“…Neither clinical presentation nor the localization of SFT within the orbit is specific [32]. SFT can occur at any age (mean age 43.2 years), even in children [1,32,36]. Our cases demonstrated histologically the typical morphology of the solitary fibrous tumor: well-circumscribed, firm, solid tumors consisting of rather bland spindle cells haphazardly arranged in alternating hypo-and hypercellular areas with intervening thick collagen fibers.…”

“…The clinical picture of our two cases is very similar to most of the described cases. Neither clinical presentation nor the localization of SFT within the orbit is specific [32]. SFT can occur at any age (mean age 43.2 years), even in children [1,32,36].…”

“…To our knowledge, there are up to 50 SFTs of the orbit described [1,4,5,6,8,13,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,26,27,28,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46]. The aim of the present study is to present two cases and to review the current literature.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors of the orbit (SFT) are mesenchymal lesions that can develop either as malignant or benign neoplasias. We describe the histological features leading to the diagnosis in two females and review the current literature. Diagnosis of SFT only can be performed by histological examination, since clinical signs and radiological features are not specific enough. Even a malignant or benign course cannot be predicted, since clinical and radiological features do not correlate with histological signs of malignancy and vice versa. Radical resection is the treatment of choice, since no other treatment option has been proven to be efficient.

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7] Since the first report of 2 cases of orbital SFT in 1994, 8 the orbit has become one of the common sites of the head and neck involved by the tumor, and more than 50 cases of orbital SFT have been reported mostly in the ophthalmologic and pathologic literature. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] To our knowledge, however, systematic analysis of the imaging features of orbital SFT has seldom been reported in the radiologic literature. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristic CT and MR imaging findings of 6 cases of patients with SFT of the orbit proved on pathologic examination.…”

“…There have been more than 50 cases reported worldwide since first description in the orbit by westra et al [44]. The solitary fibrous tumor can occur any site of the orbit but more commonly involve in superolateral extraconal [45]. The CT and MRI feature are usually seen the well-defined margin, regular shaped, iso-density, iso-intense on T1WI, and iso-intense/hypointense on T2WI and heterogeneous or homogeneous enhancement ( Figure 11).…”

Purpose: To valuate four-quadrant location method in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the orbital tumor by comparison study combining CT and MRI with pathology. Materials and methods:Data of 87 patients (44 female and 43 males), aged 1 to 84 years were recruited in this study, including the computed tomography(CT), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and histopathology diagnosis. All orbital tumors were verified radiologically and pathologically in the Hospital of Jinggangshan University from Sep-2008 to April-2016 patients underwent CT scanning (31 Conventional CT and 18 dynamic contrast enhancements CT) and 38 patients underwent MR Imaging (35 dynamic contrast enhancement MRI and 3 conventional MRI). The clinical data were retrieved from the medical record. We classified the orbital region according to four-quadrant and eight-space (FQES) division and traditional muscleconal division with center point of optic nerve. Results:Among the 87 cases of the orbital tumors, 70 cases (80.45%) were orbital benign tumors and 17 cases (19.54%) were malignant tumors. Regarding the location of the orbit, 41 lesions (47.12%) were in superolateral, 18 lesions (20.68%) were in inferolateral, 16 lesions (18.39%) were in inferomedial, 8 lesions (9.19%) were in superomedial, 3 lesions (3.44%) were in globe, 1 lesion (1.14%) was in optic nerve. The most common tumors are hemangiomas (total 36 cases: 12 in inferolateral, 8 in inferomedial, 9 in superolateral, 7 in superomedial) and 9 cases of pleomorphic adenoma were in superolateral, 9 cases of dermoid cyst ( 7 in superolateral and in 2 inferomedial), 5 cases of inflammatory pseudotumor (4 in superolateral and 1 in inferomedial), 7 cases of lymphoma (3 in superolateral, 2 in inferolateral and 2 in inferomedial ), 3 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma in superolateral, 3 caese solitary fibrous tumor ( 2 in suprolateral and 1 in inferomedial), 3 cases lipoma (1 in superomedial, 1 in superolateral and 1 in inferolateral), 2 cases choroidal melanoma were in globe, 1 case of metastasis in superolateral, 1 case of meningioma in optic nerve, 1 case of malignant melanoma was in superolateral. The orbital tumors appeared in orbit with mostly regular, oval and rounds shape, well defined margin. The size ranged from 0.8 mm × 4.5 cm to 4.5 cm × 2.0 cm. The CT revealed iso-density in 22, slightly high-density in 15, mixed density in 6, low density in 5 and high density in 1 lesion. Among them, 18 were contrast enhancements. On T1WI image, the MRI revealed low signal intensity in 23 cases, slightly low signal in 4 cases, iso signal intensity in 7 case, high signal intensity in 3 cases, mixed signal intensity in 1 case on T2WI, it revealed high signal intensity in 23 cases, slightly high intensity in 7 cases, low signal intensity in 4 cases, iso signal intensity in 3 cases, mixed signal intensity in 1 case. Among them, 35 contrast enhancement MRI and 3 were non contrast MRI. Benign tumor was diagnosed in 70 patients, of them 34 were male and 36 were female, and the mean age was 45.19 ...

Echography as a Useful Adjunct in the Diagnosis of Orbital Solitary Fibrous Tumor

Abstract: Standardized echography is a useful adjunct in the evaluation of orbital solitary fibrous tumors and can help differentiate these tumors from other orbital lesions.
