Abstract
BACKGROUND: In the literature, central serous retinopathy (CSR) accompanying solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) in a pilot has not been reported. In airline pilots, mass effect-related symptoms such as diplopia, ptosis, etc., seen with orbital tumors may endanger flight safety.CASE REPORT: A 62-yr-old male commercial airline pilot presented with blurred vision in the right eye. He had been receiving treatment for 2 mo because of CSR. His visual acuity was 10/20 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left. During examination, ptosis and exophthalmos were noticed in the right eye. Ocular movements were free in all cardinal directions and there was downward displacement in the right eye. There was no diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 1.5- to 2-cm well-defined contrast-enhancing mass in the lateral extraconal orbit. His medical flight certificate was suspended for 3 mo due to decreased visual acuity and superior visual defect. Superior orbitotomy was performed without any complication. Ptosis and CSR had regressed 1 wk after surgery. All systemic and ophthalmological examinations met aviation medical certificate requirements. He returned to flight on the condition of being checked every 3 mo. At the 1-yr follow-up, there was no sign of recurrences of SFT or CSR.DISCUSSION: SFTs are slow-growing neoplasms that can manifest symptoms related to mass effect. In the current literature, there are no reported cases of the coexistence of orbital SFT and CSR or pilots able to resume flight duties only 1 wk after a successful orbitotomy and tumor resection surgery.Altinbas M, Ozpınar A, Akbaba M, Nacaroglu SA, Sargolzaeimoghaddam M, Sargolzaeimoghaddam M.

Solitary fibrous tumor: Can the new Huang risk stratification system for orbital tumors improve prognostic accuracy in other tumor locations? Pathol Res Pract 2024; 254:155143. [PMID: 38301364 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are known for their heterogeneous morphology, characterized by a variety of cell shapes and different growth patterns. They can also arise in various anatomical locations, most commonly in extremities and deep soft tissues. Despite this diversity in morphology and location, all SFTs share a common molecular signature involving the NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion. Due to their unpredictable clinical behavior, establishing prognostic factors is crucial. This study aims to evaluate an orbital risk stratification system (RSS) proposed by Huang et al. for use in extraorbital SFTs using a database of 97 cases. The Huang model takes into consideration tumor size, mitotic figures, Ki-67 index, and dominant constituent cell (DCC) as key variables. Survival analysis confirmed the model's predictive value, with higher-risk scores being associated with poorer outcomes. However, in contrast to the orbital SFTs studied by Huang et al., our study did not find a correlation between tumor size and recurrence in extraorbital cases. While the Huang model performs slightly better than other RSS, it falls short on achieving statistical significance in distinguishing recurrence risk groups in extraorbital locations. In conclusion, this study validates the Huang RSS for use in extraorbital SFTs and underscores the importance of considering DCC, mitotic count, and Ki-67 together. However, we found that including tumor size in this model did not improve prognostic significance in extraorbital SFTs. Despite the benefits of this additional RSS, vigilant monitoring remains essential, even in cases classified as low-risk due to the inherent unpredictability of SFT clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumours are rare. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical features, therapy and outcome of affected patients and to identify factors associated with recurrence. METHODS Retrospective study of a cohort of 20 patients who underwent surgery for orbital solitary fibrous tumour at the University Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between 2002 and 2023. Demographic, clinical, and therapeutic data as well as tumour follow-up results were collected. Tumour volume and molecular genetic mutations were retrospectively determined. RESULTS The median patient age was 49.5 years at initial surgery. The left orbit was affected in 65% of cases. The most common clinical symptom was proptosis (80%). This was reported with a mean lateral difference of 3.9 mm (range: 1 - 10 mm). The tumours were localised predominantly in the intra- and extraconal space, craniolateral quadrant and middle third. The median tumour volume was 7.66 cm³ (range 2.15 - 12.57 cm³). In all patients, the diagnosis was made by pathological examination. All tumours investigated showed a NAB2-STAT6 mutation. The most frequently detected mutation was the fusion NAB2 exon 4 - STAT6 exon 2. All patients were initially managed with frontolateral orbitotomy. Incomplete resection (R1-status) occurred in 35% (n = 7). The recurrence rate was 25% (n = 5), with a median disease-free interval of 45.5 months (range 23 - 130). 80% (n = 4) of recurrences were initially R1-resected. CONCLUSION Orbital solitary fibrous tumours are rare tumours and are clinically manifested by signs of displacement of orbital structures. Diagnosis is made by histology and immunohistochemistry and can be proven with the molecular genetic detection of the NAB2-STAT6 mutation. The therapy of choice is complete surgical resection. R1-resection is more likely in the intraconal location as well as in location in the posterior third of the orbit - due to difficult surgical accessibility. The greatest risk factor for the development of recurrence is incomplete surgical excision. Late recurrences are possible, which is why a long-term connection to a specialised clinic is necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report long-term outcomes after surgery for orbital solitary fibrous tumors. METHODS Retrospective review of patients with orbital solitary fibrous tumor, first seen between 1971 and 2022. Primary excisions were grouped as (A) surgically intact, (B) macroscopic, but with cell spillage, or (C) known incomplete excision. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients (31 female; 53%) presented at a mean age of 43.0 years (19-82 years), with 5 patients (8.5%) having malignant solitary fibrous tumors. Average follow up was 11.4 years (median 7.8; range 1-43 years). There were 28 of 59 (47%) group A patients with 1 of 28 (3%) having recurrence, 20 of 59 (34%) group B having 6 of 20 (30%) recurrences, and 11 of 59 (19%) group C with 9 of 11 (82%) recurrence ( p < 0.001 for recurrence rate). At a mean of 8.9 (range 1-23.6) years after initial treatment, continued local tumor growth was evident in 16 (27%) patients, with higher-grade recurrence in 3 of 14 (21%) cases. No patient had systemic disease at presentation, but 2 of 59 patients (3%) developed metastases at 22 and 30 years after first treatment. The 10-year progression-free survival was 94% (group A), 60% (group B), and 36% (group C). Tumor disruption or incomplete excision (groups B + C) carries the highest risk of tumor recurrence (hazard ratio 15.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.98-114; p = 0.009), with no correlation to tumor size or histology. CONCLUSIONS Orbital solitary fibrous tumors have a low recurrence rate with surgically intact excision; piecemeal excision, capsular disruption, or known incomplete resection have a high recurrence rate, which can occur decades later. Baseline postoperative scans is recommended, together with long-term clinical and interval imaging.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate presenting features of patients with orbital solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs), based on histological phenotype. METHODS A retrospective case-note review was performed for demographics and presenting features for patients with orbital SFTs. The tumours were classified as "Group IA" hypocellular SFT phenotype, "Group IB" haemangiopericytoma phenotype and low mitotic activity, and high-grade "Group II" haemangiopericytoma phenotype with high mitotic activity. RESULTS Sixty-four patients (34 female; 53%) presented at a mean age of 42.2 years (median 38; range 19-82), with Group II patients presenting at an older age (mean 53 years). Median symptom duration was 12 months for Groups IA and IB, compared to 4 months for Group II, the commonest symptoms being proptosis (53%), diplopia (41%), periorbital swelling (31%), and altered vision (19%). Mean LogMAR was 0.17 (median 0.0; range -0.2-4), and 14% had ipsilateral optic neuropathy, with no significant difference between the three groups. Non-axial displacement was noted in 69%, a palpable mass in 45%, and reduced eye movements in 59%; choroidal folds and optic disc swelling were recorded in 12% and 9%. SFTs were mostly extraconal (59%), within the superior and superonasal quadrants (44%), with an average estimated tumour volume of 4.9 ml (median 3.6; range 0.31-14.5 ml). CONCLUSION SFTs may present with impaired visual function (∼15%), fundal abnormalities (a fifth), globe displacement (two-thirds), and reduced ocular motility (over a half). High-grade tumours tend to present more than a decade later, with a shorter duration of symptoms.

Abstract
Orbital primary solitary fibrous tumors (OPSFTs) are rare. To further characterize the clinical and pathological features of OPSFTs, 92 cases of OPSFT were analyzed to develop a risk prediction model. OPSFTs were equally distributed between males (n = 45) and females (n = 47) with a mean patient age of 40.8 years (median 39 years; range 5-70 years) at initial diagnosis. The mean tumor size was 2.79 cm (median 2.5 cm). Microscopically, the tumor cells were irregularly arranged in spindle, ovoid, or round shapes with varying amounts of collagen and branching blood vessels. Immunohistochemical staining showed positive STAT6 nuclear expression in all cases, loss of CD34 expression in seven cases, and a mean Ki-67 label index of 5.25% (range 1%-30%). All patients were initially surgically resected and had a median follow-up of 99 months: 33 patients recurred, 6 of whom presented with multiple recurrences and 1 with distant metastases. A predictive model for the risk of recurrence based on tumor size, mitosis, Ki-67 label index, and dominant constituent cell (DCC) was developed based on our results. In conclusion, OPSFTs are rare but can be reliably diagnosed based on characteristic morphological features and STAT6 immunohistochemistry. The rate of local recurrence of orbital tumors tends to be higher than the rate of distant metastases, which can be predicted by a risk stratification model specific to orbital tumors. Long-term clinical follow-up is recommended as advanced disease is common.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is an uncommon spindle cell tumour of mesenchymal origin characterised by NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion. Although it was first described in the pleura, it can occur in connective tissue in any part of the body, but rarely presents in the orbit and ocular adnexa. SFT, which is part of the same disease spectrum as other fibroblastic tumours such as giant cell angiofibroma, haemangiopericytoma and fibrous histiocytoma, usually presents as a painless, slow-growing mass in any age group and generally follows a benign course, with a good prognosis after complete excision. However, malignant forms rarely occur. Even for benign tumours a more aggressive clinical behaviour is possible, with relentless infiltrative local growth, frequent recurrence following surgery, and malignant transformation with the potential for metastatic spread. Careful long-term follow-up is essential. The published literature on SFTs of the orbit and ocular adnexa is reviewed, and the aetiology, clinical presentation, epidemiology, radiological features, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, risk stratification, clinical management, and prognosis are discussed, reflecting on our own experience.

Abstract
Brain tumors affecting the orbit and orbital tumors affecting the brain are a heterogeneous group of lesions, with histological features, behaviors, diagnostic criteria, and treatments varying from each other. Dermoid cyst and cavernous hemangiomas are considered the most frequent benign lesions, while non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common malignant tumor in this region. Sharing the same anatomical region, clinical manifestations of orbital lesions may be often common to different types of lesions. Imaging studies are useful in the differential diagnosis of orbital lesions and the planning of their management. Lesions can be classified into ocular or extra-ocular ones: the latter can be further differentiated into extraconal or intraconal, based on the relationship with the extraocular muscles. Surgical therapy is the treatment of choice for most orbital lesions; however, based on the degree of removal, their histology and extension, other treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are indicated for the management of orbital lesions. In selected cases, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the primary treatments. This chapter aimed to discuss the orbital anatomy, the clinical manifestations, the clinical testing and the imaging studies for orbital lesions, and the principal pathological entities affecting the orbit together with the principles of orbital surgery.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) comprises a histologic spectrum of soft tissue neoplasms that are characterized by the unique NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion. Changes in diagnostic terminology and site-specific classification over the past few decades have resulted in a disjointed literature. Complete surgical excision with preservation of function remains the mainstay of treatment. New risk stratification systems including risk factors such as mitotic rate, age, tumor size, and presence of necrosis, among others, can be used to predict risk of recurrence or metastasis. Long-term follow-up after surgical resection is recommended. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of SFT are reviewed here.

Abstract
A 78-year-old Caucasian male presented with diplopia and decreased vision in the left eye for 1 month, in addition to a painless fleshy lesion in the inner corner of the left eye for 3-month duration. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 and 20/50. Slit lamp examination revealed a left medial conjunctival and caruncular lesion, measuring 6 mm by 4 mm. Histology of the excised mass showed a cellular submucosal spindle cell neoplasm without cytologic atypia and rare mitoses, immunohistologically diffusely positive for CD34 and STAT6, and negative for SMA. Based on these findings, solitary fibrous tumor was diagnosed. With the combined diagnostic power of light microscopy and immunohistochemistry, SFTs are diagnosed increasingly and more accurately in the orbit. With this first case report of a caruncular SFT, we believe that SFTs should remain on the differential for mesenchymal tumors of the conjunctiva and caruncle.

Abstract
Giant cell-rich solitary fibrous tumour (GCR-SFT) is a rare variant of SFT with a predilection for the orbital region. Despite its hypervascularity, extensive angiomatoid cystic changes are unusual in GCR-SFT and may pose a diagnostic challenge. A 47-year-old man presented with a right eye proptosis and a protruding tumour of several years’ duration with recently accelerated tumour growth. MRI revealed a cystic-solid heterogeneous mass arising from the lacrimal gland and displacing the globe. A subtotal excision of the mass was performed due to unanticipated hypervascularity and intraoperative bleeding. Pathologically, a vascular neoplasm was initially suspected. The diagnosis of GCR-SFT was made following careful evaluation and demonstration of CD34 and STAT6 expression. Molecular studies revealed a pathognomonic but rare NAB2ex3-STAT6ex18 fusion variant as well as a TP53 mutation suggestive of aggressive phenotype. The patient had a complete resolution of the proptosis but the clinical picture remains guarded due to incomplete resection.

Abstract
A wide variety of benign and malignant tumors can arise from different structures in the orbital and peri-orbital area, affecting the eye and the optic nerve. This spectrum of tumors includes primary and metastatic carcinomas, lymphomas, melanomas, soft tissue tumors, and primary tumors of the retina, optic disc, and optic nerve. These also extend to relatively rare entities such as solitary fibrous tumor and meningioma of the orbit and optic nerve, which can present with very similar clinical and radiologic features, although the tumor grades, treatment plans, and outcomes can vary widely. In this report, we present two clinical cases of solitary fibrous tumor [central nervous system (CNS) World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 and 3) and compare their clinical presentation, radiologic and histologic features, treatment, and clinical outcomes to a group of three orbital meningiomas (CNS WHO grade 1 and 2). In the context of these five cases of orbital lesions, we review the current clinical, pathologic, and radiologic literature on orbital tumors, focusing primarily on solitary fibrous tumors and meningiomas, along with an expanded discussion on the diagnostic criteria of both entities, as well as the treatment and prognosis of these lesions.

Chen T, Wang Y, Goetz L, Corey Z, Dougher MC, Smith JD, Fox EJ, Freiberg AS, Flemming D, Fanburg-Smith JC. Novel fusion sarcomas including targetable NTRK and ALK. Ann Diagn Pathol 2021; 54:151800. [PMID: 34464935 DOI: 10.1016/j.anndiagpath.2021.151800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Challenging emerging entities with distinctive molecular signatures may benefit from algorithms for diagnostic work-up. METHODS Fusion sarcomas (2020-2021, during pandemic) were diagnosed by clinicoradiology, morphology, phenotype, and next-generation sequencing (NGS). RESULTS Six fusion sarcomas in two males and four females involved the chest-wall, neck, or extremities; ages ranged 2-73, median 18 years. Sizes ranged 5.3-25.0, median 9.1 cm. These include high grade 1) TPR-NTRK1 of proximal femur with a larger rounded soft tissue mass, previously considered osteosarcoma yet without convincing tumor matrix. A pathologic fracture necessitated emergency hemipelvectomy (NED) and 2) novel KANK1-NTRK2 sarcoma of bone and soft tissue with spindled pleomorphic to epithelioid features (AWD metastases). 3) Novel ERC1-ALK unaligned fusion, a low grade infiltrative deep soft tissue hand sarcoma with prominent-vascularity, myopericytoid/lipofibromatosis-like ovoid cells, and collagenized stroma, was successfully treated with ALK-inhibitor (Crizotinib), avoiding amputation. These NTRK and ALK tumors variably express S100 and CD34 and were negative for SOX10. 4) and 5) CIC-DUX4 round cell tumors (rapid metastases/demise), one with COVID superinfection, were previously treated as Ewing sarcoma. These demonstrated mild pleomorphism and necrosis, variable myxoid change and CD99 reactivity, and a distinctive dot-like-Golgi WT1 immunostaining pattern. 6) A chest wall/thoracic round cell sarcoma, focal CD34/ keratins/CK7, revealed nuclear-STAT6, STAT6-NAB2 by NGS, confirming malignant solitary fibrous tumor, intermediate-risk-stratification (AWD metastases). CONCLUSIONS Recent fusion sarcomas include new KANK1-NTRK2 and ERC1-ALK, the latter successfully treated by targeted-therapy. ALK/NTRK fusion partners TPR and KANK1 suggest unusual high-grade morphology/behavior. Clinicoradiologic, morphologic, and phenotypic algorithms can prompt molecular-targeted immunostains or NGS for final classification and promising inhibitor therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify the incidence, demography and clinical features of orbital tumors diagnosed in a single institute in Japan. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS Patients with primary orbital tumors including tumor-like lesions diagnosed clinically or histopathologically at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between 1995 and 2019 were analyzed. Incidence of all orbital tumors, demographic profile and clinical features of major benign and malignant tumors were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Totally 1000 cases of primary orbital tumor were diagnosed clinically or histopathologically during the study period. Benign tumors accounted for 72% and malignant tumors 28%. 55% of benign tumors and 99% of malignant tumors were proven histopathologically. The most common benign orbital tumor was idiopathic orbital inflammation (27%), followed by IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (17%), cavernous venous malformation (13%) and pleomorphic adenoma (9%). The most common malignant tumor was lymphoma (70%), followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (7%) and solitary fibrous tumor (5%). CONCLUSIONS Epidemiology of orbital tumors has changed by the improvement of imaging techniques, establishment of novel clinical and histopathological criteria, and changes in population age structure associated with the aging society. Currently, lymphoproliferative diseases including lymphoma and IgG4-related ophthalmic diseases form the major orbital tumors in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Orbital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare lesion among orbital tumors, which can be misdiagnosed as another mesenchymal tumor. In this study we report two cases of orbital SFT, focusing on the imaging and pathological findings of the vascular structure inside the tumor. CASE REPORT A 26-year-old woman and 43-year-old man presented with orbital SFT. The pathological findings revealed a patternless growth pattern of the tumor cells and hemangiopericytoma-like vascularity as well as thickened, dilated blood vessels within the tumor tissue. Tumor cells revealed a diffuse strong positivity for cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) in both cases, while B-cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) and CD99 were positive in one case. Characteristic findings within the tumor were the arterial components, where a variety of STAT6, CD99 and bcl-2-positive smooth muscle cells were intermingled. CONCLUSION Histologically, the tumor tissues might be characterized by not only conventional hemangiopericytoma-like vasculature but also dilated arterial vessels, which were shown to be part of the tumor components.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of a series of patients with solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the orbit and to evaluate signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) as a diagnostic marker. METHODS Review of a retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive series of patients treated at a single institution with a histopathologic diagnosis of SFT. Demographic, clinical, and imaging data were collected, and paraffin-embedded tissue sections were stained to evaluate for the presence of STAT6 and other pertinent markers. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were identified. Most presented with painless progressive proptosis or eyelid swelling for less than 6 months. Imaging revealed well-circumscribed, firm, variably vascular contrast-enhancing lesions with low to medium reflectivity on ultrasound. Four tumors were histopathologically malignant. All tumors were primarily excised, and 1 patient required exenteration. Two patients were treated with adjuvant radiation therapy. Six patients had recurrent disease of which 3 underwent repeat excision, and 2 were observed. No metastatic disease or attributable deaths were observed. All lesions with available tissue stained positively for both CD34 and STAT6. CONCLUSION This is the largest single institution case series of orbital SFT with clinicopathologic correlation and the largest series to confirm the presence of STAT6 in orbital lesions. The management of SFT remains challenging due to unpredictable tumor behavior, and complete excision is the generally recommended treatment. It remains unclear whether a subset of asymptomatic patients with histopathologically benign disease can be durably observed without negative sequelae.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is an imperfect correlation between the histology and behavior of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). In addition, recurrence is common, and dedifferentiation may occur over time. Preferred primary treatment is intact excision, but friable pseudocapsules and tenacious attachments can thwart this goal in the crowded, visually sensitive orbit. This study addresses the fate and appropriate management of incompletely excised orbital SFT. METHODS Among a single surgeon's 7-case experience with orbital SFT, 3 cases involved incomplete primary excision, either before (2 cases) or after (1 case) referral. We reviewed the clinicopathologic data in these 3 cases, with follow-up intervals of 18, 21, and 52 years after initial presentation. We reviewed the English-language literature on SFT, with special attention to evolving nomenclature, orbital involvement, recurrence, malignant transformation, and management options. RESULTS Benign versus malignant designations of SFT vary with histological and behavioral criteria. Approximately 150 orbital cases have been reported. Published rates of primary malignancy and recurrence across all histologic categories are 6% to 12% and 30% to 37%, respectively. We identified 43 well-documented recurrences (range, 6 months-33 years; median, 3 years) and 10 cases of histological dedifferentiation (range, 14 months-33 years). Because of SFT's rarity and needed follow-up intervals, the value of adjuvant therapy is not yet proven. In follow up of 18, 21, and 52 years after initial presentation, our 3 cases with incomplete excision showed either no recurrence (Case 1) or no morphological dedifferentiation (Cases 2, 3). CONCLUSION A treatment algorithm is predicated on the completeness of surgical excision and histological features. However, we recommend case-by-case multidisciplinary decisions in a tumor-board setting.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the orbit are rare. In order to further characterize the clinical and pathologic features of solitary fibrous tumor arising at this anatomic site, 12 cases of orbital SFTs were analyzed in conjunction with a review of 263 cases reported from the English literature in order to develop a risk prediction model. SFTs of the orbit were equally distributed between males (n = 5) and females (n = 7) with a mean patient age of 46.8 years (median 44.5 years; range 18-76 years) at initial diagnosis. The patients typically presented with swelling or mass around the orbit, with proptosis (n = 10), ptosis (n = 5), and visual changes (n = 6). Tumors were orbital (n = 10) or upper eyelid (n = 2). Mean tumor size was 2.5 cm (median 2.6 cm). Microscopically, the tumors were characterized by cytologically bland spindle cells with patternless growth, hypocellular and hypercellular areas, variable amounts of collagen, and ectatic, branching blood vessels. By immunohistochemistry, all cases had a strong nuclear STAT6 expression. All patients were initially managed with excision or biopsy, three with presurgical embolization. The two patients with biopsy only had persistent disease (mean 37.2 months), but a third patient developed distant bone metastasis at 86.9 months. Overall mean follow-up was 73.1 months: 9 patients are alive or dead without disease (mean 77.9 months), two patients with persistent disease, and one patient with metastatic disease at last follow-up (102 months). Incorporating cases sufficiently reported in the literature, a risk prediction model based on age > 45 years, tumor size > 3 cm, tumor necrosis, mitoses of > 4/2 mm2, moderate to high cellularity, and moderate to severe pleomorphism allows for risk stratification for the development of local recurrence and distant metastasis. In conclusion, orbital SFTs are rare, but can be reliably diagnosed based on the presence of characteristic morphologic features and STAT6 immunohistochemistry. Orbital tumors tend to show a higher frequency of local recurrence than distant metastasis, which can be predicted by a risk stratification model unique to orbital tumors. With late disease common, long term clinical follow-up is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study analyzed the clinical features, imaging manifestations, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and surgical approaches of the orbital solitary fibrous tumor (OSFT), as well as the factors for postoperative recurrence of such disease. METHODS The clinical data of 16 patients with OSFT treated in our center from 2003 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, and the clinical symptoms, treatment methods, and follow-up results were recorded. RESULTS Of the 16 patients, 8 were females (50.0 %) and 8 were males (50.0 %); the average age of treatment was 37 ± 7 years and the median follow-up time was 74 (8, 228) months. Sixteen patients with OSFT underwent a total of 29 operations, of which 12 were transorbital approach operations and 17 were transfronto-orbital approach operations. Ten patients (10/16, 62.5 %) had recurrence. The recurrence rate of transorbital approach operations was 83.3 % (10/12), and the recurrence rate of transfronto-orbital approach operations was 17.6 % (3/17). No patients had treatment-related complications. CONCLUSIONS The main pathological feature of OSFT is a benign tumor. OSFT has a tendency to grow toward the cranio-orbital junction. The postoperative recurrence rate of OSFT is relatively high, so complete tumor resection is very important for prognosis. Inappropriate surgical approaches can lead to incomplete removal of the tumor and cause recurrence. Choosing the correct operation approach according to the position of the OSFT in the orbit and complete removal of the dura mater and bone affected by the tumor is crucial for the prognosis. Nevertheless, regular long-term follow-up after complete resection is necessary.

Abstract
Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare myofibroblastic primary tumor of bone that histologically and biologically mimics the extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. The surgical management of this tumor has been a matter of controversy and its recurrence has been a matter of clinical relevance. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of DF in a 15-year-old male patient who presented with a slow-growing mass in the right posterior mandibular region of 2 years duration. The presence of areas mimicking Giant cell angiofibroma (GCA) is the highlight of the case. The possibility of misdiagnoses is more in early lesions since the available literature shows that immunohistochemistry (IHC) is not of much benefit while differentiating DFs from other spindle cell lesions.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a relatively rare soft tissue neoplasm originally described in the pleura. Since its first description, several cases arising in extra-pleural superficial and deep soft tissues have been reported in the literature. SFT arising in the head and neck region is quite rare, representing about the 6% of all SFTs, and the sinonasal tract is the most common involved region, followed by the orbit, the oral cavity and the salivary glands. Herein, we report the clinico-pathologic features of a rare case of SFT of the orbital region, emphasizing the diagnostic role of the immunomarker STAT-6. A 52-year-old female presented to our hospital with a nodular mass in the left orbital region. Histological examination revealed a uniformly hypercellular tumor composed of pale to slightly eosinophilic bland-looking spindle cells arranged in intersecting short fascicles with interspersed stellate-shaped, keloid-type collagen fibers. Notable hypocellular areas, perivascular hyalinization and hemangiopericytoma-like branching vascular pattern were absent. Immunohistochemically, neoplastic cells were diffusely positive for vimentin, CD34 and STAT-6. The introduction of STAT-6 in daily diagnostic practice is helpful to confidentially render a diagnosis of SFT even in the presence of unusual morphology and site.

Abstract
Haemangiopericytoma is a highly vascular tumour, which is a rare soft tissue lesion that may arise anywhere in the body, including the orbit. During its surgical resection, it is too friable for the surgeon to handle and it can bleed severely causing many problems to the surgeon. That is why many surgical approaches have been reported till now, aiming at total excision with minimal blood loss. In this case, total resection of an orbital haemangiopericytoma in a 61-year-old Caucasian woman, using an intraoperative 23G needle injection of 40% n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and 60% lipiodol, is presented. The lesion was directly injected under fluoroscopic visualization, after which it became firm enough to be surgically removed without significant bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), formerly called hemangiopericytoma, are rare tumors derived from mesenchymal cells originally described in the pleura, but these tumors may affect extraserosal tissues including the lacrimal gland and orbit. OBJECTIVE Conduct a multi-centered clinical, radiological and histopathological analysis of 17 orbital SFT cases. DESIGN A retrospective case series. SETTING Three eye centers in two countries. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data collected from the charts of 17 adult patients presenting with tissue diagnosis of orbital hemangiopericytoma or SFT from January 2003 to December 2018 included demographics, clinical imaging and histopathological information including immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and histopathological patterns or variants of SFT were analyzed. SAMPLE SIZE 17 adult patients. RESULTS Mean age was 45 years (range 23-80 years). Male to female ratio was 3:1. The right eye was affected in 12 (70.5%) patients. Commonest presentation was proptosis in 13/17 (76% of patients). Other symptoms were impaired motility (29%) and ptosis (11%). Lesions mostly affected the medial orbit (35%), then orbital apex in 11%. The histopathological classic pattern-less variant was the commonest. One case with aggressive behavior, multiple recurrences and atypical features was encountered. Immunohistochemical (IHC) markers used included CD34 expression in all cases, Bcl-2 expression in 10/11, CD99 in 9/9 and Vimentin in 4/4. STAT6 was used in 2 cases. CONCLUSIONS SFTs are rare tumors affecting the orbit in both genders equally in their mid-forties, but showed male predominance in our analysis with a predominant classic histopathological pattern. Tissue diagnosis is essential and requires IHC studies for confirmation. LIMITATIONS Sample size is relatively small owing to the rarity of this tumor in the orbit. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None.

Abstract
The solitary fibrous tumor (STF) is a rare spindle cell tumor that most often occurs in the pleura, mediastinum and other serosal sites, but it can be found anywhere. The authors present a case report of a 35-year-old male who was submitted to an eventless left external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) due to epiphora. During the surgery no tumors or anomalous tissues were visualized. Five months later the patient presented a painless mass at the lower medial quadrant of the left orbit, near the lacrimal fossa. A computed tomography, a magnetic resonance imaging and an orbital ultrasound were performed. A round, very vascularized and highly contrast enhanced mass was found. An anterior orbitotomy was done. Histological aspects and immunohistochemical markers were consistent with STF. The tumor was not visualized during the DCR. The authors think that the growth of the tumor and the weakening of the tissues in the medial canthus after the DCR allowed the tumor to move anteriorly within the orbit.

Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) rarely occur in the orbit, especially in the lacrimal area. These tumours are mostly solid. Cystic changes have been documented, but they remain very rare. Only three cases of primary orbital solitary fibrous tumours with cystic changes have been reported in the literature, but no cases have been reported to occur in the lacrimal gland. Solitary fibrous tumours generally follow a benign course and are treated definitively with surgical excision. Data from the literature suggest that the cystic nature of SFT presents a risk of recurrence and could be a harbinger of malignancy. Case presentation A 42-year-old woman was admitted to the endocrinology department for right unilateral exophthalmia and epiphora in the last 8 months. An ophthalmological evaluation showed exophthalmia only in the right eye (22 mm) and normal visual acuity, visual field and extraocular movements. Investigations revealed normal thyroid function. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging detected a 4 × 2,2 × 2,7 cm septate pseudocystic mass in the right lacrimal gland. Given her lacrimal gland tumour diagnosis, the patient was submitted for neurosurgical intervention with total ablation of the tumoural mass and complete right dacryoadenectomy. Although the intraoperative extemporaneous examination results were suggestive of a haemangiopericytoma, histological and immunocytochemical examination showed an extrapleural SFT. The postoperative clinical evolution was favourable, with remission of the exophthalmia. Fifteen months after surgery, no signs of recurrence were noticed. Conclusions We report the first case of an SFT with cystic changes in the lacrimal gland. Although the presence of cavitary lesions alone does not necessarily indicate aggressive behaviour, cystic changes pose a risk of recurrence and may suggest malignant transformation over time. As a result, our case requires long-term follow-up due to recurrence and malignant potential.

Abstract
Background Neoplasms originating in the renal capsule are very rare. Benign fibrous histiocytoma(BFH) most commonly occurs in the dermis and subcutis, few cases of this tumor appear in the renal capsule. In particular, BFH larger than 20 cm are scarce. Here we report a rare huge one measuring 23 × 13 × 7 cm. Case presentation We report a 64-year-old man who presented with a few-months history of dull pain in the right groin. The tumor had its point of origin in the renal capsule which is a rare condition. Histologically, the tumor was composed of intersecting fascicles of fibroblastic cells forming a “storiform” pattern. Immunohistochemical studies were also performed, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of BFH. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy. No recurrence was detected 4 months after surgery. Conclusions BFH arising from the renal capsule was very rare. In particular, the case of more than twenty centimeters is extremely rare. The clinical presentation of renal BFH might be only a mass. However, differential diagnosis from renal cell carcinoma proved to be impossible before surgical intervention. It is difficult to diagnose only by means of histopathology, but the immunohistochemical method can provide a clear and definite diagnosis.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are derived from mesenchymal cells and commonly develop in thoracoabdominal organs; however, their occurrence in orbit is rare. The first-choice treatment is to surgically remove as much of the SFT as possible; however, if total removal is not achieved, the recurrence rate is high, resulting in poor prognosis. A 42-year-old man presented with painless right-sided proptosis and diplopia 4 years ago. Orbital computed tomography revealed a right extraconal mass medial to the optic nerve, measuring 25 mm. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated iso-signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted imaging, including flow-void signals. During biopsy of the intraorbital mass, which was performed by ophthalmologists 3 years earlier, difficulty with hemostasis occurred due to massive hemorrhage from the mass. The mass grew to reach a maximal diameter of 33 mm, resulting in referral to the authors’ department. Diagnostic cerebral angiography revealed a hypervascular orbital tumor with multiple feeding arteries. To control intraoperative bleeding, the patient underwent preoperative endovascular embolization. Subsequently, the tumor was completely removed using a combination of microsurgical craniotomy and endoscopic endonasal approach, without the occurrence of massive intraoperative hemorrhage from the tumor. Postoperatively, his clinical course was uneventful except for the remaining preoperative diplopia. The tumor was diagnosed histologically as SFT and has not recurred for 8 months since surgery. Preoperative intravascular embolization of branches of the ophthalmic artery can be performed safely, resulting in excellent control of intraoperative bleeding and facilitating complete removal of SFT without additional complications.

Abstract
We report the case of an anterior orbital tumor in a young woman that enlarged during pregnancy. The mass was excised and found to be a spindle cell tumor with immunohistochemical reactivity consistent with a solitary fibrous tumor, a rare entity in the spectrum of fibroblastic mesenchymal tumors. The tumor was strongly positive for the progesterone receptor, consistent with its clinical growth during the antenatal and postnatal periods. To our knowledge, a primary orbital tumor with these characteristics has rarely been reported in the literature.

Abstract
Background Hemangiopericytoma and solitary fibrous tumor are considered related variants on the same spectrum and both may essentially be the same tumor. They are infrequently encountered in the orbital region while the zygomatic bone is an extremely rare location for these neoplasms to occur. Case presentation A 14-year-old boy presented with complaint of deformity of left infraorbital area and a firm, regular mass in the region. Orbital CT scan revealed a well-defined round isodense intraosseous lesion in the lowermost portion of the lateral orbital wall (zygomatic bone), expanding the bone and protruding anteriorly and medially. MRI showed the mass to be heterogenous and strongly enhancing with contrast medium. Inferior transconjunctival orbitotomy was performed and the mass was removed. The histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry staining results (positive for CD34, CD31 and smooth muscle actin, but negative for CD99, S100, B-cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) and desmin) confirmed the diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no evidence of recurrence after 5 years follow up. Conclusions This case represents the second hemangiopericytoma reported in the zygomatic bone. Although extremely rare, hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor might be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraosseous lesions of the orbital and zygomatic region.

Abstract
Purpose To report the clinical features, imaging manifestations, histopathology, and immunohistochemical features of several cases of orbital solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) in a Chinese tertiary hospital, and to undertake a literature review of this rare disease. Methods A non-comparative retrospective review of clinical presentations, imaging manifestations, histopathology, and immunohistochemical features as well as the management and disease outcomes of patients with orbital SFT was conducted along with a review of orbital SFT cases in the literature. Results This study includes two male and two female patients, with an average age of 53 years. Common presentations among these patients included a palpable subcutaneous mass, swelling of the eyelid, proptosis, diplopia, and vision disturbance. Three patients (cases 2–4) underwent imaging scans. All patients had complete surgical excisions and the tissue was subjected to pathological analysis. One patient (Case 4) experienced a recurrence with malignant transformation and received a re-excision surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. All patients remain alive and well after a minimum follow-up of 12 months (range 12–34 months). Conclusion Despite its rare occurrence, we suggest that the possibility of orbital SFTs needs to be considered when a painless, slowly growing orbital mass is identified. Typical characteristic magnetic resonance imaging features of orbital SFTs are iso- or hypointense signals on T1 and T2-weighted images, with marked enhancement. A positive cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) staining is an important diagnostic clue favoring SFT. Some orbital SFTs are infiltrating, aggressive, or recur with malignant transformation. Therefore, regular long-term follow-up after complete excision is mandatory.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fibrous histiocytomas (FHs) involving the orbit are uncommon. To our knowledge, here the authors report the first patient with an orbital low-grade malignant FH originating from the medial rectus muscle. METHODS A clinical report relating clinical features as well as imaging and histopathologic findings is presented. RESULTS A 26-year-old female presented with a left eye proptosis that had been present for 4 months. A small left exotropia was observed and ocular motility evaluation revealed a -3 adduction and -1 abduction of the left eye. B-mode ultrasonic scans demonstrated a 2.5 × 2.0 cm mass with medium internal echo and a clear boundary located in the nasal region of the left orbit. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 2.8 × 2.0 cm oval extraconal orbital mass, with isointensity on T1-weighted MRI and hyperintensity on T2-weighted MRI. An anterior orbitotomy was performed and the tumor was completely removed. The mass originated from the medial rectus muscle. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed a low-grade malignant FH. After surgery, the left exotropia was no longer present. Ocular motility revealed a -1 adduction and -1 abduction of the left eye. No recurrence was evident at 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSIONS This rare patient demonstrates that FH may originate from the medial rectus muscle. With careful surgical dissection, a near normal function of the involved muscle can be restored.

Abstract
Mesenchymal tumours of the orbit are uncommon. Beyond childhood primary sarcomas are extremely rare and the literature is limited to case reports and short case series. However there is a diverse assortment of benign and malignant soft tissue tumours that may involve the orbit. Techniques to identify tumour specific cytogenetic or molecular genetic abnormalities often resulting in over- expressed proteins are becoming an increasingly important ancillary technique for these tumours. This review focuses on 3 specific areas: 1. Orbital mesenchymal tumours where cytogenetics are important to reach the correct diagnosis. The majority of these are chromosomal translocations that often result in a fusion gene and protein product; 2. Orbital mesenchymal tumours where cytogenetics are important to identify patients who will do well versus those with a poorer prognosis. This is turn helps with therapeutic options. In some tumours e.g. synovial sarcoma the chromosomal translocations can occur with 2 different regions resulting in different fusion products that carry a different prognosis. Alternatively whilst the majority of alveolar rhadomyosarcomas are fusion positive a minority are fusion negative with a better prognosis; 3. Orbital mesenchymal tumours where the identification of specific cytogenetic abnormalities has resulted in overexpression of specfic proteins which are diagnostically useful biomarkers for immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is rarely diagnosed in clinical practice. Since its initial descriptions in the central nervous system (CNS) and the orbits, very few case reports and small case series have expanded their clinical and pathological characterization. We sought to describe a cases series of SFT from a single laboratory of neuropathology belonging to a tertiary university hospital. Methods: Retrospective clinical and histopathological description of eight cases of CNS and orbital SFT diagnosed over a 21-year period of time. Results: Median age was 47.3 years and four were males. Clinical presentation was related to local mass effect in all. Tumors occurred in the orbits (5/62.5%), intracranial dura attached (2), and the spinal medulla (1). The neuropathology showed the presence of hemangiopericytoma type (2), classic type (3), and mixed type (3). Histological anaplasia was present in two cases. Widespread/total immunoreactivity for vimentin, CD34, and Bcl-2 was present in all. Gross total removal was conducted in the majority (6/75%) and subtotal removal in 2 (25%). Three patients were submitted to adjuvant treatment (radiosurgery and radiotherapy). Recurrence occurred in four patients, 13–120 months after surgical intervention. Anaplasia was present in one case of recurrence. Conclusion: Our case series confirms the clinical and neuropathological diversity of CNS and orbital SFTs. Studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to better understand the clinical behavior and prognosis of the SFT in the CNS and orbits.

Abstract
Giant cell angiofibroma (GCA) is a recently reported rare soft-tissue tumor that can develop in various sites including orbit. Orbital GCAs were mainly located in the eyelid or extraconal regions such as lacrimal gland and conjunctiva. We report an atypical case of a GCA arising in the intraconal area of the orbit in a 65-year-old male patient. The tumor was excised in total by lateral orbitotomy. Histological and immunohistochemical features were consistent with the diagnosis of GCA. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up of over 2 years. GCA is a rare tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraconal orbital tumors. Complete surgical removal is the current optimal treatment option.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the head and neck are uncommon. Lesions previously diagnosed in the head and neck as hemangiopericytomas (HPCs), giant cell angiofibromas (GCAs), and orbital fibrous histiocytomas (OFHs) are now recognized as within the expanded spectrum of SFTs. To better understand the clinicopathologic profile of head and neck SFTs, we performed a multi-institutional study of 88 examples. There was no sex predilection (F:M ratio 1.2), and the median patient age was 52 years (range: 15 to above 89 y). The sinonasal tract and orbit were the most common sites involved (30% and 25%), followed by the oral cavity and salivary glands (15% and 14%). Original diagnoses included HPC (25%), SFT (67%), and OFH (6%), with 1 SFT and 1 OFH noted as showing GCA-like morphology. On review, the predominant histologic pattern was classic SFT-like in 53% and cellular (former HPC-like) in 47%; lipomatous differentiation (8%) and GCA-like pattern (7%) were less prevalent. Subsets demonstrated nuclear atypia (23%), epithelioid morphology (15%), or coagulative necrosis (6%). Infiltrative growth (49%) and osseous invasion (82%) were prevalent among evaluable cases. Of the 48 SFTs with follow-up (median: 43 mo), 19 showed recurrence (40%). Of these, 4 patients were alive with disease and 4 dead of disease. Size and mitotic rate were negative prognosticators using a joint prognostic proportional hazards regression model. Three patients experienced metastasis, to lungs, parotid, bone, and skull base, including one case showing overtly sarcomatous "dedifferentiation." As a group, SFTs present in a wide anatomic and morphologic spectrum in the head and neck. Only rare examples metastasize or cause death from disease. However, the fairly high local recurrence rate underscores their aggressive potential and highlights the importance of prospective recognition.

Abstract
Background To report six cases of CD34+ fibroblastic mesenchymal tumours, which are uncommon neoplasms in the orbit. Case presentation Six patients presenting with proptosis and palpable mass who were later diagnosed with fibrous solitary tumours, fibrous histocytoma or haemangiopericytoma in the orbit were included. All patients received radiologic examinations and surgical excision for histopathology and immunohistochemistry examinations. Five patients had no recurrence after a minimum follow-up of 12 months. One patient (case 6) experienced recurrence twice, and had debulking surgeries each time. At present, the patient still has remnant tumour in the orbit, but no growth has been detected during the past two years. The tumour size will be closely monitored. Conclusions Even though fibroblastic tumours are rarely found in the orbit, they can present as a palpable mass with proptosis. Complete surgical excision is important for long-term prognosis, and immunohistochemical study is helpful for confirming pathologic diagnosis.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumours are of mesenchymal origin and comprise of uncommon spindle cell neoplasias. Most commonly the lesions arise from pleura but other rarer sites include lungs, peritoneum, pericardium, nasal cavities, thyroid, parotid gland and orbit. We report the case of a 41-year-old male patient who presented to us with a painless, progressive growth of a mass in the superior part of left orbit with proptosis and inferotemporal displacement of the left eye. Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed homogeneous enhancing lesion in the superior compartment of left orbit in the extraconal region, extending intraconally and distorting the globe. Upon imaging, the differential diagnosis were lacrimal gland tumour, atypical cavernous haemangioma and nerve sheath tumour. Surgical treatment included complete excision of the mass with the intraoperative finding of mass extending upto the superior oblique tendon, a part of which was excised. Histopathological examination revealed CD34 positive, Bcl-2 and MIC-2 positive tumour with the diagnosis of a solitary fibrous tumour with atypical features but no malignant features. After a follow-up of 18 months, no recurrence was detected.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a distinct and a rare spindle cell neoplasm, commonly known to occur in the pleura and other serosal sites. With the advent of immunohistochemistry, varied extraserosal sites are being recognized as common locations for this rare tumor. We report a case of SFT in a 50-year-old male patient who presented with multiple swellings in the eyelid, with emphasis on the cytological features.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare neoplasm that is thought to be of mesenchymal origin. Occurrence of such a tumor in the orbit is rare, more so in its malignant form. Histopathologically, it can mimic several other tumors of the orbit and can be differentiated by CD34 positivity. We report a case of malignant transformation of an SFT of the orbit that recurred after 15 years. The differentiating histopathological features with special stress on the importance of CD34 positivity and principles of management are outlined. The need for long-term follow-up to detect recurrence and malignancy is stressed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the clinical features and pathology of orbital solitary fibrous tumors and present a case of a recurrence in a 12-year-old boy. METHODS Case Report. RESULTS A 12-year-old boy presented to our institution with double vision in upgaze for 6 months. Examination revealed 3 mm of left-sided proptosis, hypoglobus, and -3 impairment of supraduction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits showed an avidly enhancing mass within the superolateral aspect of the orbit. Biopsy revealed a solitary fibrous tumor with STAT6 and CD34 positivity. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography was negative for metastatic disease. The tumor underwent excision. However, 4 months postoperatively, imaging revealed changes consistent with recurrence. A repeat lateral orbitotomy with orbital rim marginotomy was performed with complete gross excision of the tumor. The patient remains tumor-free 22 months after reoperation. CONCLUSION Orbital solitary fibrous tumor rarely occurs in the pediatric population. Despite initial complete gross tumor excision, this case represents the youngest individual with a recurrence to the authors' knowledge. This case of rapid recurrence may have been due to tumor seeding at the time of initial biopsy or other factors. This case increases the known spectrum of orbital solitary fibrous tumors.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are relatively rare tumours that were originally thought to arise from the pleura but have thereafter been demonstrated as occurring anywhere in the body. These tumours are generally considered benign but have frequently been noted for recurrence and local invasion. Furthermore, their indolence is controversial due to increasing evidence implicating the existence of a spectrum that includes hemangiopericytoma (HPC). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been well characterised in the treatment of benign, malignant and vascular conditions, and it appears to be a reasonable option as adjuvant or recurrent treatment for intracranial SFTs. We present in this case the first complete description of an SFT of the orbit treated by SRS as well as a systematic review of available English literature for intracranial SFTs treated by SRS. We report effective local tumour control in our case and conclude that SRS is a reasonable treatment option for recurrent SFT.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are benign, spindle-cell tumors of mesenchymal origin that are usually seen in the superior orbital area in adults. We report a rare case of SFT in the lacrimal gland fossa that developed in a young female. A 25-year-old woman had a 6-month history of a progressive painless mass in the left upper eyelid accompanied by proptosis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an ovoid, demarcated mass with distinct margins in the lacrimal gland region without bone invasion. Excision biopsy with immunohistochemical study, specifically with positive signal transducer and activator of transcription 6, confirmed the diagnosis.

Abstract
Haemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare tumours which infrequently occur in the lacrimal sac. Only 8 cases of lacrimal sac HPC have previously been reported. The authors report 2 additional cases presenting clinically with epiphora and a mass. One case recurred 3 times during an 18-year period. The other case did not recur during 51 months of follow-up. The tumours showed immunohistochemical features consistent with a diagnosis of HPC. The authors recommend wide excision for these tumours and careful long-term follow-up to detect recurrence which is not uncommon.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the treatment modalities available to clinicians who treat orbital and periocular vascular anomalies, with a focus on newer approaches. METHODS The authors' experience, along with a literature review, was used to provide a concise summary of the available approaches to the treatment of periocular vascular anomalies. Emerging diagnostic tools and therapies are highlighted. RESULTS The treatment of orbital and periocular vascular anomalies, including vascular malformations and tumors, increasingly utilizes a multidisciplinary team and a combination of endovascular, percutaneous, and open surgical techniques. CONCLUSIONS A growing reliance on new instrumentation and tools in a team-oriented approach to treatment may lead to better results with improved visual function and cosmesis and with reduced risk of complications.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are uncommon spindle-cell tumors of mesenchymal origin initially described in the pleura and subsequently in other extra-pleural sites. These tumors are categorized as tumors of 'intermediate malignancy' under the World Health Organization classification of soft tissue tumors. SFT was virtually non-existent or misdiagnosed until its characteristic features, particularly the strong and diffuse immuno-reactivity to CD 34 were described. Extra-pleural manifestations of SFT, particularly in the head and neck region are rare. Although a number of isolated case reports of orbital SFTs have been described ever since its initial description in 1994, cases of recurrent SFTs have been very few. Recurrences of these tumors following surgery are considered unusual and metastasis exceptional. We describe clinical presentation and the management challenges of recurrent giant orbital SFT in a 15-year old girl along with a brief review of literature.
