Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin that accounts for less than 2% of all soft tissue masses. Head and neck sites include the oral cavity, sinonasal region, soft tissues of the neck, thyroid, parotid gland, scalp, and larynx. Because of its rarity, developing specific diagnostic strategies and treatment planning was difficult. We report a case of a soft tissue solitary fibrous tumor of the neck in a 50-year-old male patient, localized between the small rectus muscle and the inferior oblique muscle of the head. We describe the diagnosis, pathological pattern, surgical treatment, and follow-up at 3 and 5 weeks after radical surgery.
