Intraorbital solitary fibrous tumor requiring preoperative embolization of feeding artery

Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are derived from mesenchymal cells and commonly develop in thoracoabdominal organs; however, their occurrence in orbit is rare. The first-choice treatment is to surgically remove as much of the SFT as possible; however, if total removal is not achieved, the recurrence rate is high, resulting in poor prognosis. A 42-year-old man presented with painless right-sided proptosis and diplopia 4 years ago. Orbital computed tomography revealed a right extraconal mass medial to the optic n… Show more

“…The endovascular approach is more effective for tumors in the orbit. Compared with previous reposts [ 1 , 4 6 ], we demonstrated a large intraconal mass with multiple feeder vessels arising from 4 points of origin (Table 1 ), including main feeder vessels with numerous tangled branches arising from the ophthalmic artery and the IMA. Because the points of entry of the vessels from ophthalmic artery were too thin for the microcatheter to pass through, liquid Onyx was an effective means of embolizing these tangled feeder vessels due to its slow precipitation properties [ 1 ].…”

“…Since then, researchers have found these tumors in extrapleural locations such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, parotid gland, pericardium, peritoneum, mediastinum, nasal cavities, and orbit [ 9 ]. Clinically confirmed orbital SFTs are very rare, with approximately only 90 cases reported up to date [ 4 ]. These tumors are generally considered benign but recurrent and malignant variations have recently been noted.…”
