Summary:To study clinicopathologic features, histologic characteristics, differential diagnosis and the treatment of orbital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Clinical, radiographic and pathologic findings of 6 cases of SFT were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry were performed on selected samples. Four patients were males and 2 were females. Patients age ranged from 19- to 57-years-old. The location of the tumor was in the muscle cone (case 1 and case 5), medial (case 3), lateral (case 4), superior (case 2) and inferolateral (case 6) portion of the orbit, respectively. The presenting symptom was proptosis in 3 cases and was mass of subconjunctival or orbit margin in other 3 cases. Image examination: SFT appeared as a round (case 6 showed irregular) and well-circumscribed parenchymatous mass that could be homogenously enhanced by contrast. Histologically, SFT displayed as a mass of spindle cells in an irregular arrangement Sometime, tumor cells could be storiform or sarciniform. Mitotic figures were infrequen
