Abstract
Proliferative fasciitis is a rare entity in the orbit. A 16-year-old boy presented with a growing right orbital mass, which was palpable just inferior to the medial right eyebrow. MRI demonstrated a 12 × 8 × 9 mm mass located medial to and slightly above the right globe within the subcutaneous soft tissues. An anterior orbitotomy with debulking of the lesion was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of proliferative fasciitis. To the authors' knowledge, there is only one prior case in the literature demonstrating proliferative fasciitis of the orbit.Entities:
