description BACKGROUNDSolitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm of unknown origin. It has been reported in many anatomic sites, with a rare occurrence in the head and neck region. Solitary fibrous tumors of the parotid gland are exceptional; their clinical and radiologic features are non specific, often mimicking more common salivary gland tumors. Pathologic examination and immunohistochemistry are required to make the correct diagnosis. The prognosis is favorable, with most tumors being benign, and complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice. CASE PRESENTATIONWe report the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with a painless mass involving the parotid gland. A parotidectomy was performed, and follow up was unremarkable. Gross examination showed a well circumscribed, firm tumor measuring 3,4 cm. Histologically, the tumor was composed of a spindle cell proliferation of variable cellularity, with staghorn vessels. A panel of immunohistochemical stains was performed, and confirmed the diagnosis of parotid gland solitary fibrous tumor. CONCLUSIONIn this report we aim to increase awareness of this rare entity among clinicians and pathologists, and to emphasize the role of immunohistochemistry in confirming the diagnosis.
