Solitary fibrous tumor of the oropharynx : a case report

Abstract EN

We report a case of a solitary fibrous tumor of the oropharynx and the retro molar area among a 26 years old female patient who was referred with a large mass in the oropharynx causing dysphagia and nocturnal dyspnea.

Physical examination, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Carotid Angiography, and Fine Needle Aspiration revealed the presence of a highly vascular solid multilocular mass of the oropharynx.

Multiple aspirations revealed pure blood aspirate with no cellular components to reach a preliminary diagnosis, it was decided to embolize and reomove the lesion to be submitted as an excisional biopsy.
