Abstract

The present letter to the editor is related to the study titled “Primary orbital monophasic synovial sarcoma with calcification: A case report’’. Orbital synovial sarcoma is one of the rare intraorbital masses seen in adult and pediatric populations. Some case reports in the literature revealed that synovial sarcoma may contain calcifications. Therefore, it is important to make differential diagnosis among calcified orbital masses in childhood.

Keywords: Orbital tumor; Synovial sarcoma; Calcification; Children; Histopathology; Radiology

Core Tip: This letter to editor serves to contribute additional information regarding differential diagnosis and immunohistochemical features to the article. We hope that by using radiographic and immunohistochemical features, we can assist in differentiating calcified orbital masses in the pediatric population.
