Solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit: Computed tomography and histopathological findings.

A solitary fibrous tumor is a rare spindle cell neoplasm originating from the mesenchyme. This type of tumor of the orbit is very uncommon and can be misdiagnosed as a hemangiopericytoma, fibrous histiocytoma, meningioma, or neurofibroma. We report an orbital solitary fibrous tumor in an 18-year-old male, with slow-growing swelling in the right orbital region.
