    Author: Harada T, Matsuda H, Maruyama R, Yoshimura Y.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2002 Aug; 31(4):448-50. PubMed ID: 12361084.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare lesions in the oral cavity. Typically they arise in the pleura. We report a lesion occurring in the lower anterior gingiva. In histochemical examination, the spindle-shaped, neoplastic cells stained strongly for CD34 antigen and vimentin, but did not stain for desmin, smooth-muscle actin, muscle actin and S-100 protein. The expression of CD34 antigen and vimentin were useful for the differential diagnosis.
