    BackgroundInfantile myofibromatosis is a rare benign disease of mesenchymal origin. It occurs mostly in infants but can occur in children and adults. It presents in 2 forms: solitary and multicentric. The presence of an orbital component, whether as a solitary lesion or as part of the multicentric disease, is even rarer. Surgery is required when these tumors behave aggressively and grow rapidly or when they are large enough to cause compression symptoms. Several surgical approaches have been described to resect such lesions.Case DescriptionWe present a case of a solitary intraorbital myofibroma extending into the optic canal in a 6-year-old girl that was completely resected via an extended endonasal endoscopic approach.ConclusionsThis case report highlights the advantages of the extended endonasal endoscopic approach in terms of intraoperative and postoperative factors.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
