PURPOSE: To describe a rare case of solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit in a child, clinically misdiagnosed as arterious hemangioma. METHODS: A nine-year-old child presented a hard-elastic palpable mass located in the right inferotemporal orbit. Computed tomography, orbital pulsed-wave Doppler and internal carotid artery angiography consented diagnosis of high-vascularization mass probably related to arterious hemangioma with feeder vessel arising from a branch of ophthalmic artery. The orbital mass was surgically removed. RESULTS: The histological examination showed mesenchimal tumor, CD34 positive, related to solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit. CONCLUSIONS: Solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit should be considered in the differential diagnosis of arterious hemangioma.
