Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare and difficult to diagnose. The occurrence of this entity in the head and neck region constitutes approximately 6% of the cases and is associated with higher rates of recurrence. We report a case of a 61-year old male diagnosed with this rare tumor by fine needle aspiration.
