Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon spindle cell tumor that typically arises at the level of the pleura in adults. However, SFT has also been reported in various extrapleural sites including orbit, meninges, liver, lung, salivary glands, retroperitoneum, mediastinum. In the head and neck region, SFT has been documented in the external auditory canal, larynx, thyroid, sublingual gland, tongue, parapharyngeal space and the infratemporal fossa. The nose and the paranasal sinuses are a rare site for SFT with only 14 publications in the world literature. We present an additional case of a SFT arising at the level of the right ethmoid sinus successfully removed in one piece endoscopically and review the corresponding literature.
