Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm that is usually presented as a pleural origin localized tumor. There are few cases, found in thyroid. Twenty six cases found in thyroid have been reported since 1993, and two of these were malignant. We report another malignant case in this study; a 55 years old man visited out-patient clinic due to palpable mass of anterior neck, and pathologically diagnosed as malignant SFT of thyroid after surgical resection. In this study, we focus on the clinical features of this uncommon disease along with other literature reviews.
