Resumo
Purpose, Material and Method Orbitary exenteration is an indicated treatment for malignant and benign processes where special incidence of extension, uncontrollable pain, unrecoverable visual loss, cosmetic disfiguration, tendency to diffuse or persistent infiltration and malignancy potential have been observed. We report a case of a 22 year-old male from Senegal, presenting an isolated neurofibroma of the orbit of long evolution and great size. Results/Conclusions Treatment of this tumor is complete local resection. In this case an orbitary exenteration was performed due to size of the tumor and visual loss. We emphasize the need to treat these patients as soon as possible.
