Abstract

|
|
|
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a neoplasm that arises most commonly in pleura. Although SFT occasionally occurs in extrapleural locations, the incidence in the oral cavity is rare. SFT is benign in almost cases and surgical excision is the effective treatment. SFT occurred in the left cheek of a 60-year-old man presented with a painless submucosal mass. The tumor was surgically removed. Immunohistochemical study showed that tumoral cells were negative for SMA, S-100, but positive for Bcl-2, CD34. SFT is easily overdiagnosed if strict criteria are not carefully applied, and strict diagnostic criteria are necessary to avoid confusion of SFT with more aggressive lesions.
