  • Title: Solitary fibrous tumor of the retropharynx causing obstructive sleep apnea.
    Author: El-Sayed IH, Eisele DW, Yang TL, Iezza G.
    Journal: Am J Otolaryngol; 2006; 27(4):259-62. PubMed ID: 16798403.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare, usually benign, spindle cell neoplasms that most often originate near mesothelium-lined surfaces of the pleural or peritoneal cavity. SFTs reported in the head and neck occur most commonly in the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, and orbit. We report a case of SFT of the retropharynx causing severe obstructive sleep apnea. The diagnostic and management strategies of SFTs are discussed.
