Abstract
|
|
|
|
The solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is made of potential malignant spindle cells, a neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that is normally described as a thoracic lesion originating from pleural tissues. Recently, numerous extrapleural sites of the origins such as the following have been described: the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual gland, tongue, vulva, parotid gland, thyroid, larynx, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The treatment of choice for SFTs is a complete surgical excision of the tumor. But, the possibility of profuse bleeding must be considered during resection and even during initial biopsies. This case report presents a case of an SFT in the nasal cavity of a 20-year-old male patient who was treated with surgical treatment after angiographic embolization.
