Abstract EN
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare tumors that are mostly found arising from the pleura.
SFT of the parotid gland is a rare tumor; only a few cases have been described in the literature.
SFTs are benign in most cases.
Clinically, SFTs usually manifest as well circumscribed, slow-growing, smooth, and painless masses.
CT-Scan and MRI are the most sensitive imaging procedures used.
The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision of the lesion.
Since recurrence and metastasis can take place after several years, a lifelong clinical and imaging regular follow-up is compulsory.
In this paper, we describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of the up-to-now biggest parotid SFT.
The clinical presentation, surgical management, and pathological and immunohistochemistry findings are described.
