Abstract
A female patient in her early 20s presented with increasing proptosis of her left eye over 2 months. She had no other signs of diplopia, pain or visual loss on initial presentation. Subsequent imaging of her orbits revealed a medial rectus tumour. A transorbital open biopsy of this tumour was non-diagnostic/inconclusive, hence a combined transorbital and endonasal resection of this tumour was performed. Histopathology of the resected tumour revealed an unusual inflammatory-rich spindle cell neoplasm, which was determined to be a primary orbital ectopic atypical meningioma. These tumours are exceedingly rare, with only case reports/series reported in the literature. Complete surgical resection with margins is the proposed treatment. The role of radiotherapy is still controversial. More studies are required to improve our knowledge of this condition.
