“…Throughout the body, as well as in the head and neck region, SFT affects males and females with the same frequency [1,8,16,29]. Similarly, patients with parotid gland SFT were equally divided between male (n = 11) and female (n = 11) ( Table 2) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. SFT usually affects middle aged adults, but it has also been found in young patients [1,8,18,29].…”

“…A review of the English literature based on a MEDLINE search from 1960 to 2011 was performed and all cases of solitary fibrous tumor involving the parotid specifically were included in the review, the majority of which were single case reports [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Clinical series of ''head and neck soft tissue tumors'' were selected if critical (Tables 1, 2).…”

“…Magnetic resonance shows an isointense (to muscle) mass on T1 weighted images, while showing enhancement on T2 weighted images, especially with gadolinium contrast administration [8,14,15,18,32]. There were frequently heterogeneous streaks within the tumor, perhaps as a result of the rich vascular supply.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare tumors in the head and neck, and even more so in the parotid gland. The mass-like clinical presentation and histologic features result in frequent misclassification, resulting in inappropriate clinical management. There are only a few reported cases in the English literature. Twenty-one patients with parotid gland solitary fibrous tumor were compiled from the English literature

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare fibroblastic tumor with spindle cell morphology, which is characterized by a prominent branching vasculature and a NAB2‐STAT6 gene rearrangement. SFT may occur in any anatomical site and may involve salivary glands, including the parotid gland. We present a young female with a primary parotid SFT diagnosed as “neoplasm—Salivary gland neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential (SUMP)” per the Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology by fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) with surgical pathology follow‐up. Cytomorphology of SFT is diverse and overlaps with more common entities causing a diagnostic challenge. Non‐diagnostic FNA results are not uncommon. Thankfully, the majority of SFTs involving the salivary gland can be identified as “neoplasm” on FNA. The Neoplasm‐SUMP subcategory is considered for the majority of cases, which would warrant a diagnostic excision with clear surgical margins, which is also curative in most cases. The Neoplasm‐SUMP also perfectly encompasses the neoplastic behavior of SFT, which runs on a scale from indolent to malignant.

The solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a tumor of uncertain histogenesis, affecting deep soft tissues, particularly the pleura (pulmonary) and extrapulmonary sites including thighs, retroperitoneum, other serosal surfaces, and cranial and spinal meninges. SFT and hemangiopericytoma are now considered the same entity, with general agreement on referring to this group of tumors as “SFT.” SFTs are generally benign tumors with small subsets of malignant ones. Moreover, they are well-circumscribed with a good prognosis after surgical resection. SFTs are uncommon in the head and neck and are quite rare in the parotid gland region. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old female with SFT of the parotid gland region; the diagnosis was confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining for Bcl-2, CD34, and STAT6. STAT6 immunohistochemistry is sensitive and specific for SFTs.
