Case Report of Rare Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Nape of Neck with Review of Literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor with an indolent course but variable metastatic potential. Less than 50 cases of neck SFTs have been documented since 1991. We present a case report of rare presentations of SFT of nape of neck typifying the hypercellular variant of SFT (hemangiopericytoma) with challenges in treatment. Patient underwent excision and was subjected to adjuvant radiation. We concluded that SFT though a rare diagnosis should be considered while dealing with soft tissue tumors and multi-disciplinary pre-operative planning is must to avoid complications and recurrence. Surgical excision remains treatment of choice, but long follow-up is must.
