Case reportSolitary Fibrous Tumor of the Oral Cavity: Case Report and Pathologic Consideration
Section snippets
Discussion
SFT is a rare neoplasia that was first described by Klemperer and Rabin in 19311 as a benign variation of pleural mesothelioma. Other authors reported this neoplasm in the oral cavity, upper airways, nasal cavities, orbit, parotid gland, thyroid gland, breast, lung, mediastinum, and skin.
We found 49 cases of SFT of the oral cavity reported in literature. Tumor origination included: cheek, 12 cases (not including our case); tongue, 5 cases; buccal mucosa, 19 cases; lower lip, 2 cases; soft

2014, Pathology Research and PracticeCitation Excerpt :The secondary criteria are seen in some but not all cases, for example, hemangiopericytoma-like vascular pattern; dilated, thin-walled vessel with perivascular sclerosis; isolated mononuclear or multinucleated large cells with hyper-chromatic nuclei [5]. Tumor cells in SFT are characteristically immunoreactive for CD34 and variably positive for CD99 and Bcl-2 [12,13]. Anti-CD34 antibody, which recognizes a 110-kDa transmembrane cell surface glycoprotein found on myeloid progenitor cells, is the most consistent and reliable immunohistochemical marker for SFT [14–16].

2011, Acta Otorrinolaringologica EspanolaCitation Excerpt :SFT has been reported in diverse sites such as serous membranes like the peritoneum,7 either parietal or visceral, retroperitoneum, mesentery, omentum, abdominal wall and hernia sacs,8 and pericardium.9 Also, other sites of origin are the meninges,10 spinal cord, oral cavity,11 mammary gland,12 gastrointestinal tract;13 skin, kidney, female genital tract and other 32 locations such as the orbit, nasal cavitiy, pelvic space, liver, mediastinum, prostate, upper airway, pancreas, heart, conjunctiva, thyroid, bladder, tonsils, carotid sheath and testicle among others.1 All of these lesions, in spite of their site of origin, have the same morphological, cytogenetic and immunohistochemistry characteristics as those seen in cases of SFT of the pleura; therefore, they have been established to be the same neoplasm.14–16
