[Clinical and pathological analysis of 35 cases of ocular adnexal solitary fibrous tumor].

To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis of 35 cases of solitary fibrous tumor of ocular adnexal (SFT). This was a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 35 cases of ocular adnexal SFT was collected in Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2000 to December 2020. The clinical manifestations, imaging examination results, pathological characteristics, treatment of patients were analyzed, and patients were followed up. All cases were classified according to the 2013 classification of World Health Organization of tumors of soft tissue and bone. There were 21 males (60.0%) and 14 females (40.0%). The age range was 17 to 83 years, and the median age was 44 (35, 54)years. All patients were unilateral, with 23 (65.7%) in the right eye and 12 (34.3%) in the left eye. The course of disease ranged from 2 months to 11 years, with an a median duration of 12(6,36)months. Clinical manifestations included exophthalmos, limited eye movements, diplopia, and tearing. All patients underwent surgical treatment of complete resection of the tumor. Ocular adnexal SFT mostly occurred in the upper orbit (19 cases, 73.1%). On imaging examination, the tumor showed well-circumscribed space occupying lesion that heterogeneously enhanced with contrast, and abundant blood flow signals in the tumors. MRI showed isointensity or low signal on T1WI, and significantly enhanced on T2WI, presenting intermediate-to-high heterogeneous signals. The tumor diameter was 2.1 (1.5, 2.6) cm. There were 23 cases (65.7%) of classic subtype, 2 cases (5.7%) of giant cell subtype, 8 cases (22.9%) of myxoid subtype, and 2 cases (5.7%) of malignancy. Immunohistochemical staining showed that Vimentin, CD34 and STAT6 were positively expressed in all patients. Twenty-one cases (60.0%) showed positive expression of BCL-2, and Ki-67 positive index ranged from 1.0% to 10.0%. Tumors in this group were all low-risk according to the Demicco risk stratification. Follow-up was available for 25 patients with a duration of 2 years to 14 years and 7 months, and the median follow-up time was 88 (61, 124) months. Two patients relapsed, and no distant metastasis or death was observed. Ocular adnexal SFT mainly presents as a painless, slow-growing mass. And most of them are typical SFT. The imaging manifestations are varied Ocular adnexal SFT generally follows a benign course, with a good prognosis after complete excision. Recurrence could occur many years after surgery which requiring careful and long-term follow-up.
