Solitary fibrous tumor of the parapharyngeal space.
Solitary fibrous tumors are rare tumors originating from the mesenchymal tissue. In most cases they arise from the subpleural tissue but have also been described in other locations in the body. Most such tumors in the head and neck region occur in the orbit. Although malignant tumors can occur, benign tumors are far more common. The therapy is surgical excision. For a conclusive diagnosis, a ty...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor of the post-styloid parapharyngeal space
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a well-known tumor composed of spindle cells found most commonly in the pleura. Recently, accounts of their rare occurrence at other sites, including the head and neck area, have been reported. The parapharyngeal space is a rare location even for head and neck SFTs, and thus, could be confused with a variety of other tumors that can originate in this area. Here, ...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor of the parapharyngeal space: MR imaging findings.
We report the MR imaging findings of a solitary fibrous tumor involving the parapharyngeal space. The tumor was a well-circumscribed solid mass with a lobulated contour. It had the same signal intensity as the muscle on T1-weighted MR images, heterogeneously high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and homogeneous strong enhancement after the administration of contrast material. It mimicked...
متن کاملParapharyngeal space tumors: considerations in 26 cases.
CONTEXT Parapharyngeal space tumors comprise less than 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms. The majority of these tumors are benign, but surgery is usually required to establish the diagnosis and treat the patients. We present 26 patients treated surgically for tumors arising in the parapharyngeal space (PPS) at the State University of Campinas Hospital--UNICAMP. CASES SERIES Of these, 17 (65...
متن کاملIntracranial solitary fibrous tumors: A report of two cases and a review of the literature.
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are uncommon, with the pleura as a site of predilection. Central nervous system SFTs, particularly intracranial SFTs, are extremely rare. The lesions are generally benign and localized, and surgery is the main therapeutic solution. The current study reports the cases of a patient who presented with right haunch pain, right leg weakness and paresthesias for several...
