Ossifying fibroma of the lateral orbital wall in an adult

Orbit. 1999 Dec;18(4):291-293. doi: 10.1076/orbi.18.4.291.2691.

Abstract

Orbital ossifying fibroma is an extremely rare condition, especially in adults. This rare tumor mostly develops at the medial wall of the orbit. We report a histopathologically confirmed ossifying fibroma involving the lateral orbital wall in an adult. This case suggests that orbital ossifying fibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital bony lesions in adults and that unusual presentations may occur.
