Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare benign mesenchymal tumors that occur mainly in the pleura. We herein report the first case of a cellular SFT located in the mental region of the head and neck in a 46-year-old woman. Facial computed tomography revealed a mass measuring 0.8 cm with clear boundaries in the right mental region. After excision of the mass, expert pathologists diagnosed a cellular SFT. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a cellular SFT identified in the subcutaneous tissue of the mental region of the head and neck. Because the postsurgical prognosis of SFTs is unpredictable, long-term follow-up and further studies are necessary to determine the characteristics of cellular SFTs in the head and neck region.
孤立性纤维瘤(SFT)是一种罕见的良性间叶性肿瘤,主要发生在胸膜。本文报告首例发生于头颈部颏部的富于细胞性 SFT,患者为 46 岁女性。面骨 CT 示右侧颏部有一大小约 0.8cm 的边界清楚的肿块。肿块切除后,经病理专家诊断为富于细胞性 SFT。据我们所知,这是首例发生于头颈部颏部皮下组织的富于细胞性 SFT。由于 SFT 的术后预后不可预测,因此需要长期随访和进一步研究来确定头颈部富于细胞性 SFT 的特征。
