Abstract :
Cavernous hemangiomas are the most frequent tumors in the orbital region. Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon neoplasms found in dif-ferent locations, including the orbit. We present a 50 year old man with coincidence of unilateral orbital cavernous hemangioma and solitary fibrous tumor. Computed tomography was performed which showed two intraconal solid masses in the right orbit positioned relatively near each other antro-postriorly. Tumors were excised using lateral orbitotomy method and sent for histopathologic examination. Our case shows the coincidence of a solitary fibrous tumor adjacent to cavernous heman-gioma so this combination is possible and should be considered.
