Abstract EN
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare tumours in the head and neck region.
They have been reported in many anatomic sites but occurrence in the parotid gland is exceptional.
We report a very rare finding of a benign SFT of the parotid gland in a patient with a past history of excision of a malignant type of mediastinal tumour.
It is important that clinicians are aware of the possible existence of SFT in the parotid as a synchronous lesion or occurrence of the same disease later on elsewhere when SFT is diagnosed at one anatomical site.
This case report illustrates that regular clinical and imaging follow-up is essential in SFTs to look for the appearance of new lesions in the other anatomic site.
