Orbital hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor in childhood

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2012 May-Jun;28(3):e58-60. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e3182232493.

Abstract

A 12-year-old girl had a 6-year history of a large soft-tissue mass in her left orbit. The tumor biopsy was previously performed elsewhere when she was 7 years old, but no treatment was offered at that time. Later, the tumor was completely excised, and histologic examination revealed a mesenchymal neoplasia with typical hemangiopericytoma features. At 9 months of follow up, no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis was seen.
