Introduction
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare spindle cell neoplasms [1]. SFTs are generally associated with serosal surfaces, but in recent years it has been reported in extra pleural sites such as the liver, adrenal gland. SFT has an incidence of 2.8/100000 population, with similar rates between men and women, and it is more frequent during the 5–6th decade. Head and neck SFTs accounts for 6% of all SFT in human body [2]. It is often misdiagnosed due to its microscopic resemblance to several other spindle cell tumors. Their occurrence in parapharyngeal space is extremely rare, difficult site to reach when tumour is reaching up to skull base and far medially. Herein, we present a rare case of SFT located in the left parapharyngeal space that was successfully excised by combined approach. This case proposes that, although rare, SFT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue tumours in the parapharyngeal space.
