Solitary fibrous tumour of the orbit. Report of a new case.

Purpose: Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) of the orbit is a very rare lesion that may be misdiagnosed as fibrous histiocytoma, haemangiopericytoma, or other orbital tumour. We studied a case of SFT of the orbit in a 35-year-old woman.

Methods: The patient, with a 1-year history, reported a 'pressure' sensation behind her right eye, but no pain, vision changes, or other associated symptoms.
