Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are commonly arise in the pleura and less commonly in extrapleural sites. In head and neck area, solitary fibrous tumors can occur in nose, paranasal sinus, soft palate, epiglottis, thyroid, parotid and submandibular gland. To our knowledge, this is the 5th case of solitary fibrous tumor arising from the parotid gland in English literature. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor occurred in the superficial lobe of right parotid gland which was successfully treated by superficial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve.
