ABSTRACT
Sclerosing orbital pseudotumor is a rare subtype of idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor. It's more common in adults and presents diagnosis of exclusion. Steroids represent the first option of treatment. The sclerosing orbital pseudotumor subtype shows moderate response to steroids due to the predominance of fibrosis and collagen in its histology. We report on a case of a patient with histologic diagnosis of sclerosing orbital pseudotumor successfully treated with corticosteroid associated with azathioprine.
