Introduction: Orbital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spidle-cell tumor of mesenchymal origin. As a rule, surgeons have little experience in its management. Purpose: The aim of the work is to report cases of the rare orbital tumor and discuss its treatment. Methods: Four patients (three women and one man) had SFT. The age of the patients was 72, 63, 47, 23 years, accordingly. The tumors had the huge sizes in the all patients. Results: Transcutaneous orbitotomy (in one patient) and transconjunctival orbitotomy (3 patients) were performed to remove the tumor completely. Nobody had undergone craniotomy. Histologic examination and immunohistochemical study revealed SFT. Two patients had the benign type of SFT, one patient—the uncertain type of SFT, 1 patient—the malignant type of SFT. Visual acuity of the all patients had improved. Position of the eye ball was correct after treatment. Only one patient had slightly limited ocular motility. Follow-up period was 6–30 months. Two patients developed recurrence of the tumors (SFT of the uncertain type and SFT of malignant type, accordingly). External beam therapy was performed. Conclusions: There are some questions in treatment of SFT. Whether additional treatment after full tumor removal is required? When should we perform it?.
