ABSTRACT

The solitary fibrous tumor is an injury described initiallyin visceral pleura in 1931 by Klemperer and Rabin, it was also called fibrous mesothelioma from that date has been described with multiple names like mesothelioma located benign, submesothelioma, fibrous tumor located to pleura, fibroma pleural, fibromasub serosum, today in day has begun the description of these injuries in other sites accepting itself that they can be developed anywhere of the human economy like pericardium, peritoneum, thyroid, liver, mesentery, abdominal wall, prostate etc. but only mamarian glands in few occasions described in orbits and meninges being in addition little common the unilateral proptosis. This it must be fitted within the fibrous injuries and fibrohistiocitaries, the majority being benign and single in few occasions of malignat. We present the case of a patient who begined with proptosis as well as progressive diminution of the visual sharpness of right eye, the image studies revealed a intraorbitary mass and was reported reported by histopathology a solitary fibrous tumor.
