title: [Solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit: Possibly recurrent in the long-run].
abstract: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare etiology of progressive unilateral exophthalmia. The tumor is of mesenchymal origin and it is usually well defined. But recurrences can occur despite of complete surgical resection. Metastases have been observed. Tumors of the SFT spectrum are considered as benign or low-grade malignant. Histological features do not currently allow any prognosis. The most important prognostic factor is complete surgical resection. Craniofacial approaches provide a good view of the tumor extensions and orbital contents. Recurrent tumors must be surgically removed when possible. Complementary treatments have not proved effective. A very long-term follow-up is mandatory.
