“…15,16 The review of the literature reveals a recent trend of rather rapid accumulation of the number of orbital SFTs, and so far more than 50 cases of orbital SFT have been reported in the English-language literature. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Bernardini et al 15 questioned the rarity of orbital SFT. According to these authors, thanks to the widespread use of immunohistochemical studies, the number of orbital SFTs has rapidly been increasing after 1994 when the first orbital SFT was reported.…”

“…5,7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Usually, the tumor is seen as a well-defined soft tissue mass with heterogeneously or homogeneously strong enhancement on CT and MR images. Occasional internal calcifications and necrosis have also been reported.…”

“…[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.…”

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.

“…1 Eighteen solitary fibrous tumours have been reported to occur within the orbit, of which only one was located in the lacrimal gland fossa. 2,3 Only a single study reported two patients with involvement of the lacrimal sac. 4 Our case involves this rare tumour within the submucosa of the lacrimal sac with unique clinical and staining features.…”

may reflect the high protein content in the amorphous centre of the lesion, whereas the decreased signal intensity may indicate regions of fibrous tissue and crystals, haemosiderin deposition, or protein immobility. Although inconsistent, the majority of reports state a marked enhancement post-injection of i.v. gadolinium. Our patient did not show this.This case has a very unusual and unexpected diagnosis. The patient was otherwise healthy, with no precipitating cause of hyperuricaemia. His serum urate and renal function were within the normal range and the case was discussed with the physicians.To our knowledge there is no report in the literature of uric acid deposition presenting as a mass in the orbital region.
