Abstract
Neurofibroma is the most important component of neurofibromatosis and may occur as solitary lesion. Solitary neurofibroma is common in the skin but solitary neurofibroma of the orbital region is unusual, whether or not it is associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. In 53-year-old woman who had exophthalmos, we experienced a solitary tumor between right medial rectus muscle and lamina papyracea. The histopathologic evaluation revealed the tumor to be a neurofibroma.
Key Words: exophthalmos;neurofibromatosis;orbit;solitary neurofibroma
