Solitary Fibrous tumor is usually arising in the pleura of the thoracic cavity and it has been described in a variety of extrapleural sites including the abdominal cavity, soft tissue, upper respiratory tract and rarely in head and neck region. We experienced a rare case of solitary fibrous tumor in the parotid gland. A 49-year-old woman presented with a painless mass in the left parotid. The mass was well-demarcated and easily dissected, and it showed a patternless arrangement of potential malignant spindle cells in a fibrotic background and prominent vascular structures. In immunochemistry, the mass cells were positive for CD34, vimentin, and negative for actin, S-100 protein, and cytokeratins. Therefore, the parotid mass diagnosed as SFT. During the 24 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of tumor growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
