| Popis: | Solitary fibrous tumours are uncommon spindle cell neoplasms generally associated with serosal surfaces, especially the pleura (‘localized fibrous mesothelioma’). Recently, these tumours have been documented in extraserosal sites. We report two solitary fibrous tumours, including one occurring in the paediatric age group, arising in two previously unreported locations, parapharyngeal space and epiglottis. These cases expand the range of sites where this tumour may originate and confirm the tendency of extrapleural cases to involve the upper respiratory tract and adjacent structures. |
