[Fibrous histiocytoma of the orbit].

The authors reported a case, a large orbital fibrous histiocytoma, in a 14 year old girl. They emphasize nosologic problems and histologic aspects of this benign tumor. Because of the localisation and the size of the tumor, a double anterior orbitotomy (superior and inferior) was necessary for complete renoval. Anatomic, functional and esthetic results were satisfactory.
