Abstract

Orbital and adnexal solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare entities. The clinico-radiological and histologic features overlap with those of other spindle cell variants, and hence the use of immunohistochemical stains helps in making an accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, a thorough surgical resection is imperative to prevent tumor recurrences. We report a rare case of SFT arising primarily from the eyelid with multiple recurrences.

Keywords: Eyelid; fibrous tumor; immunostains; recurrence.
