Orbital spindle cell haemangioma: An uncommon entity!

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2021 Jul-Sep;64(3):545-547. doi: 10.4103/IJPM.IJPM_1031_20.

Abstract

Spindle Cell Haemangioma (SCH) is a benign vascular lesion, which commonly affects the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of distal extremities. The occurrence of SCH in the head and neck region and more so in the orbit is very few and rare. SCH should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in vascular tumors of the orbit. We are reporting a case of solitary SCH in the orbit which was mimicking orbital cavernous venous malformation (orbital venous haemangioma).

Keywords: Orbital; spindle cell haemangioma; vascular lesion.
