ABSTRACT

Solitary fibrous tumor(SFT) is an unusual primary mesenchymal spindle cell tumors, most commonly arising in the pleura. Although the majority of these tumors exhibit benign behavior and have a good prognosis, but minority of patients with these tumors are at risk for local recurrence and distant metastaseis. Recently, we experienced a rare case of 12-years-old pediatric SFT patient arising in the sublingual gland, which shows histopathologically malignant potential. So we report this case with a review of literatures. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2018;29:114-118)
