Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The clinical data of 5 cases of head and neck solitary fibrous tumor( SFT) were reviewed retrospectively. There were 3 males and 2 females. CT findings showed solitary masses with well-defined margin and homogeneous density. On enhanced CT scans the tissue displayed distinct intensity. Complete resection was performed in 5patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by post-operative pathology and the expression of CD34 and Vimentin in tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive in all cases. In a follow-up of 6- 25 months,no patients presented recurrence.
