A rare giant cell angiofibroma, a variant of solitary fibrous tumor, was found in a 73-year-old man's orbit. This orbital tumor recurred 16 months after surgical removal.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Giant cell angiofibroma is a rare orbital neoplasm.
  • It is now considered a variant of solitary fibrous tumor.
  • Orbital tumors can present unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of orbital giant cell angiofibroma.
  • To discuss the clinicopathological features of this rare tumor.
  • To highlight the potential for recurrence after surgical excision.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 73-year-old male patient.
  • Surgical removal of the orbital tumor.
  • Review of clinicopathological features and relevant literature.

Main Results:

  • A giant cell angiofibroma was identified in the right orbit.
  • The tumor recurred 16 months post-surgery.
  • Clinicopathological features were consistent with a solitary fibrous tumor variant.

Conclusions:

  • Giant cell angiofibroma is a rare orbital tumor with a potential for recurrence.
  • Accurate diagnosis and complete surgical excision are crucial.
  • Further research into solitary fibrous tumor variants is warranted.
