Solitary Fibrous Tumor Arising within Deep Cervical Soft Tissue: Case Report

Main Article Content
Abstract
A 72-year-old Thai male presented with a progressively enlarging left neck mass over the past month. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the neck revealed a well-circumscribed, avidly contrast-enhancing soft tissue mass at the left neck level IIb, measuring 2.1 × 2.6 × 2.5 cm. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was performed twice but yielded no definitive diagnosis. An incisional biopsy was subsequently carried out, and histopathological examination revealed a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). The patient underwent complete surgical excision of the mass with wide local excision of the overlying skin. Final histopathology confirmed a benign solitary fibrous tumor. Solitary fibrous tumors are rare in the head and neck region.
