Abstract
Eosinophilic angiocentric fi brosis is a rare condition presenting with tumefactive
lesions of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, upper respiratory tract and
rarely the orbit; and has characteristic histopathological features. We report the
case of a 38-year-old lady with a mass lesion in right orbit. Histopathological
examination of the biopsy specimen revealed extensive areas of perivascular
fi brosis showing a characteristic angiocentric whirling with onion skin pattern;
along with perivascular exudates of eosinophils accompanied by collection of
plasma cells and lymphocytes. Rheumatology review and autoimmune screening
was negative. She underwent surgical debulking followed by tapering course of
oral steroids and was completely free of orbital disease at her last follow-up visit.
