Rare case of orbital nodular fasciitis
Abstract
A rare case of orbital nodular fasciitis in young female is presented. This case is of interest not only because of diagnosis but also due to localization of the mass with inferior orbital wall destruction and extension into maxillary sinus. The efficacy of surgical treatment is demonstrated. Excision of the mass was two-staged, the first performed by ophthalmologist and the second performed by ENT-specialist. Orbital implant was used to close bone defect after the mass was removed.
