Rationale: The orbital Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rare clinically, due to its ability to mimic other conditions, distinguishing LCH from hematoma when these disorders coexist can be particularly challenging.

Patient Concerns: A 3-year-old boy presented with a 2-week history of unresolved bruising and swelling of the left eye. CT revealed a well-defined cystic lesion in the preseptal tissues of the left eyelid, with an incomplete bone structure at the lower margin of the orbit.

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is predominant within the pleura but very rare in the orbit, which is why the diagnosis of orbital SFT poses challenges in clinical practice. Accordingly, an integrated approach that incorporates specific clinical features, histological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations, and molecular analyses is warranted.

Aim: To retrospectively explore the clinical and imaging characteristics, treatment, outcomes of a series of patients with orbital SFT.
