“…Although no recurrences have been reported in the head and neck region, a long term follow up of patient is recommended regardless of the anatomic location; if malignancy is suspected in the final pathology [3,6,12,14]. Factors that predispose to local recurrence in non head and neck SFT's include tumor diameter larger than 10 cm, presence of malignant component in histology and microscopic positive surgical margins [11].…”

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is rare mesenchymal neoplasm that has been originally and most often documented in the pleura. Recently, the ubiquitous nature of the SFT has been recognized with reports of involvement of numerous sites all over the body, i.e, upper respiratory tract, breast, somatic tissue, mediastinum, head, and neck, etc. The diagnosis of SFT still remains an enigma in our field. Furthermore, malignant SFT is extremely rare and only two cases have been reported in the oral cavity till date. Here, we present a rare case report of an aggressive solitary fibrous tumor which presented as a palatal mass and extended throughout the middle cranial fossa and exhibited features of malignancy.

“…26 The buccal mucosa is the most common site of occurrence, followed by the tongue, gingiva, palate, lip, buccal sulcus, posterior trigone, and mental region (Table 2). 17,22,27 In the Italian literature, only 2 cases of SFT of the infratemporal fossa, 4 1 case in the laterocervical spaces, 28 and 1 case in the parapharyngeal space 8 have been described. There are no descriptions of SFTs in the parotid gland in the Italian literature.…”

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27]29,30 Diagnosis of SFT can only be performed by histologic examination, because clinical signs and radiologic features are not specific enough. The tumor microscopic aspect shows spindle or ovoid cells associated with collagenous matrix and branched vessels with a hyaline wall.…”

“…Recently, the SFT has been reported in many other extrapleural sites, including the head and neck as an orbit tumor, 2,3 infratemporal fossa, 4,5 parapharyngeal space, [6][7][8] upper airways, nose, [9][10][11] mediastinum, 12 salivary and thyroid glands, and oral cavity. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The finding of SFT in the salivary glands and oral cavity is very unusual. Diagnosis is difficult because SFTs have a wide morphologically different range.…”

Exceptionally large solitary fibrous tumor arising from the cheek: an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study with a review of the literature

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mass-forming soft tissue tumor that occurs most commonly in the pleura, but has been described in various extrathoracic sites. Extrapleural manifestation of SFT, particularly in the head and neck region, is rare. The most common extrapleural site is the oral cavity; these tumors have also been described in the orbit, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands, and larynx. We report an extremely rare case of a SFT in the subcutaneous region of the cheek. This tumor in the left cheek was a large firm mass, approximately 8.5 cm × 6 cm in size and was successfully treated by surgical resection. Immunohistochemistry revealed reactivity for vimentin, CD34, and bcl-2, but no staining for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, S-100, desmin, caldesmon, actin, α-smooth muscle actin, CD117, and CD99. Immunohistochemical study is the key to establish a definitive diagnosis of SFT, and ultrastructural study is also useful for making an accurate diagnosis. The patient recovered uneventfully without evidence of tumor recurrence 2 years after surgery.
