Solitary fibrous tumors of the nasal cavity [abstract]

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal-derived neoplasms that are derived from serosal membranes, most commonly from pleural origin. However, a wide variety of extraplural locations have been described. Twenty-two cases originating in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses have been reported. We present a case report of a 49-year-old female with a solitary fibrous tumor of the left nasal cavity, as well as a review of the literature with recommendations of peri-operative management.
