Can J Ophthalmol. 1992 Jun;27(4):194-6.

Abstract

Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma of the orbit is a distinctive solitary fibro-osseous lesion of the orbital bones that histologically has characteristic small, round structures resembling psammoma bodies within a benign spindle cell stroma. We describe a 19-year-old woman with this uncommon orbital tumour.
