Purpose
Orbital solitary fibrous tumours (OSFT) represent a rare subtype of spindle-shaped neoplasms primarily affecting middle-aged adults. These tumours usually manifest as benign masses and are treated successfully through complete surgical removal. However, there are potential complications associated with surgical removal. Especially when lesion infiltration may necessitate more extensive procedures, such as exenteration. A limited number of case reports highlighted the need for caution in considering radiotherapy as a treatment option.
Methods
In this context, we present a case report of radiotherapy as primary treatment for an OSFT.
Results
During a 5-year follow-up period after radiotherapy treatment, the patient experienced a gradual reduction in tumour size and improvement in symptoms, including decreased proptosis and improved visual acuity.
Conclusion
This case report challenges conventional advice and offers new insights into the safety and efficacy of primary radiotherapy for OSFT.
