Abstract EN

Introduction.

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) of the parotid gland are a very rare group of spindle-cell tumours with only 28 cases reported in the literature.

This review aims to report an additional case of parotid SFT and provide a review of all reported cases of this rare condition.

Case Presentation.

A 26-year-old male presented a 3 cm well-demarcated, slowly enlarging mass which was completely excised, revealing histological and immunohistochemical features of SFT.

Discussion.

Reviews of all reported cases suggest that histology and immunohistochemistry are paramount in the diagnosis of SFT.

These features, along with clinical presentation and management of this rare condition, will be discussed.
