| Popis: | An 80-year-old male was referred for evaluation of an extensive swelling on the left side of the face lasting 1 year and with a previous diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. His medical history revealed arterial hypertension, aortic aneurysm, and partial carotid obstruction in clinical control. Clinical examination revealed a swelling in the left side of the face, with mild dystopia, associated with a swelling in the upper anterior and posterior left vestibule. Panoramic radiography showed no alteration in the region. Revision of the histologic slide from the previous biopsy was compatible with solitary fibrous tumor, and a new incisional biopsy was performed, confirming this histologic hypothesis. The patient was submitted to resection of the tumor, and the analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor. The patient has been under clinical and radiographic follow-up for 6 months without evidence of local recurrence. |
