Zusammenfassung

Der solitäre fibröse Tumor (SFT) ist ein seltener Spindelzelltumor, der von spezialisierten Fibroblasten ausgeht. Er wurde zuerst in der Pleura beschrieben, dann aber im ganzen Körper einschließlich der Orbita. Der Tumor ist zumeist gutartig, aber maligne Entartung mit Rezidiv und Metastasierung wurde auch in einzelnen Fällen beobachtet. Die Therapie der Wahl ist die komplette Exzision. Wir berichten über einen 50-jährigen Patienten, bei dem ein SFT der Orbita über eine transkonjunktivale vordere Orbitotomie entfernt wurde. Der Patient ist 1,5 Jahre nach der Operation tumor- und beschwerdefrei.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare spindle cell neoplasms derived from specialized fibroblasts. This tumor was first described in the pleura and later in the whole body including the orbit. Although an SFT is generally a benign tumor malignant transformation and metastasization have also been observed in a few cases. Complete excision is the therapy of choice. Here we report on a 50-year-old male patient whose orbital SFT was removed by transconjunctival anterior orbitotomy and 1.5 years after the operation the patient is recurrence and complaint-free.
