GARCIA DE MARCOS, J.A. et al. Intraoral solitary fibrous tumor: clinical, pathologic, and immunohistochemical analysis. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2008, vol.30, n.3, pp.180-184. ISSN 2173-9161.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are spindle cell neoplasms that most often originate from mesothelial lined surfaces. Intrathoracic tumors are more common and oral mucosal involvement is uncommon. Clinically, intraoral SFT is usually a painless, well delimited, slow-growing, mobile submucosal mass. Diagnosis is based on immunohistochemical and histopathologic analysis. Histologically, SFT is characterized by a variable provision of spindle cells, which generally are CD34-positive. Resection is the treatment of choice and long-term follow-up is recommended because recurrences and late metastases. We present a case of intraoral SFT of the mandibular vestibular sulcus. One year after surgical resection, there were no signs of local or regional recurrence. The literature was reviewed.
