  • Title: Solitary fibrous tumor of the infratemporal fossa.
    Author: Freiser ME, Castaño JE, Whittington EE, Arnold DJ, Sidani CA.
    Journal: J Radiol Case Rep; 2014 Dec; 8(12):1-8. PubMed ID: 25926911.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumors represent fewer than 2% of all soft tissue tumors, and only about 12-15% of them occur in the head and neck. We report a case of a 38-year-old male who presented with a six-month history of increasing right cheek swelling. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses with contrast demonstrated a well-circumscribed avidly enhancing mass in the right retroantral fat. On magnetic resonance imaging the lesion was homogenously slightly hyperintense to muscle on T1 weighted and T2 weighted images and enhanced avidly with contrast. Surgical resection was performed and pathology was consistent with solitary fibrous tumor. There have been very few reported cases of solitary fibrous tumors in the infratemporal fossa and none described as originating in the retroantral fat.
