Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the orbit are exceptionally rare neoplasms. We present the case of a 77-year-old female who first presented in 2021 with a spindle cell neoplasm in the superior right orbit. Following surgical excision and a negative PET scan, she opted for surveillance without adjuvant radiation therapy. Three years later, MRI revealed a recurrence of the orbital SFT. The patient underwent a second surgical resection and adjuvant proton radiation therapy to reduce the risk of further recurrence. This case draws attention to the importance of long-term follow-up in orbital SFTs and highlights the potential role of targeted proton therapy for managing recurrent cases.
眼眶孤立性纤维性肿瘤(SFTs)是极为罕见的肿瘤。我们报告一例77岁女性病例,该患者于2021年首次就诊,右上眼眶出现梭形细胞瘤。手术切除及PET扫描结果为阴性后,她选择进行观察,未接受辅助放疗。三年后,MRI显示眼眶SFT复发。患者接受了第二次手术切除及辅助质子放疗,以降低进一步复发的风险。该病例提醒人们注意眼眶SFT长期随访的重要性,并突出了靶向质子治疗在复发病例管理中的潜在作用。
