Abstract
Purpose:
A 31-year-old had a five-year history of painless progressive swelling of her right upper eyelid.
Method:
A mass was removed from the superonasal aspect of the right orbit.
Results:
The orbital mass was composed of a collagenous stroma with capillary channels and irregular giant cells. The findings were characteristic of multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma.
Conclusion:
Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of circumscribed orbital tumors.
