  • Title: [Primary malignant solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma of the parotid gland].
    Author: Messa-Botero OA, Romero-Rojas AE, Chinchilla Olaya SI, Díaz-Pérez JA, Tapias-Vargas LF.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2011; 62(3):242-5. PubMed ID: 20684939.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) was first described in the pleura by Lietaud in 1767; later in 1870, Wagner described the localized nature of this type of tumor and Klemperer and Rabin classified pleural tumors into two types: diffuse mesotheliomas and localized mesotheliomas. Recent years have seen the redefinition of this neoplasm, due to better technology; it is now proven that this neoplasm may have multiple different extrapleural origins including the head and neck regions. This diversity of locations is related to the particular mesenchymal histogenesis of SFT which allows its development from very unusual sites such as the salivary glands (SGs). In this particular site, this neoplasm is very infrequent and most of reported cases refer to benign disease, with just one case informed so far of primary malignant SFT.
