Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare soft-tissue sarcomas usually arising in the pleura of the thoracic cavity. Thirty percent of SFTs present in extrapleural locations, and infrequently in the head and neck region. While the majority of SFTs are benign, aggressive variants have been described. We report a case of a patient with a malignant SFT arising in the suboccipital soft tissues of the neck. We elucidate the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing this tumor in this unusual location.
孤立性纤维性肿瘤（SFTs）是一种罕见的软组织肉瘤，通常发生于胸腔的胸膜。30%的SFTs出现在胸膜外部位，很少见于头颈部区域。虽然大多数SFTs是良性的，但也有侵袭性变体的报道。我们报告一例发生于颈部枕下软组织的恶性SFTs患者。我们阐明了在这个不寻常部位处理该肿瘤时所面临的诊断和治疗挑战。
