Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumours are rare neoplasms that arise mostly from the pleura. Much more rarely they can also be found in extrapleural sites, including the head and neck. We report a rare case of a sinonasal and rhinopharyngeal solitary fibrous tumour. The tumour, measuring 67 x 28 x 55 mm, was first embolised and then successfully removed through endonasal endoscopic surgery. Histopathologic analysis confirmed the nature of the lesion, which was positive for CD34 and vimentin. A post-operative CT scan and endoscopic follow-up demonstrated total resection and absence of recurrence after 13 months.
