Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors originally described in the pleura that infrequently metastasize. We present a 71-year-old male complaining of hemoptysis and a mass with the characteristic appearance of a hemangioma in the floor of the mouth. The mass had nonspecific imaging features on CT and MRI. After unsuccessful fine needle aspiration, surgical excision and biopsy with histological analysis revealed a solitary fibrous tumor, high risk variant. CT Imaging and lymph node biopsy showed gross total resection and no metastatic adenopathy. Given the high risk for malignancy, the patient received adjuvant radiation without subsequent clinical or imaging signs of recurrence. This case report demonstrates the presentation of this rare entity that can often be confused with other tumors in this region, given its nonspecific clinical and imaging findings. |
