Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To report a case of palpebral solitary fibrous tumour (SFT). CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: An elderly man presented with a slow-growing painless mass in the lower conjunctival fornix in the left eye. The lesion was excised and it measured 0.9 cm in maximum diameter. The microscopic features were characteristic of a benign SFT, with immunohistochemical reactivity for vimentin, CD34 and Bcl-2 protein. Nuclear staining for progesterone receptor was also observed. CONCLUSION: This tumour displayed a benign course, with no recurrence after excision. CD34 immunohistochemistry proved to be a useful adjunct to the microscopic diagnosis.
