A rare case of sinonasal solitary fibrous tumour in a patient with concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

A solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare neoplasm that commonly arises in the pleura and can occur in other extrathoracic sites. Extrapleural SFT, particularly in the sinonasal cavity, is extremely rare. There are no definite diagnostic criteria for sinonasal SFT as it is rare. Histologic analysis with immunohistochemistry plays an important role in diagnosing SFT.

Case presentation

We report herein a case of SFT of the sinonasal cavity, which later spread to the oral cavity in a 67-year-old male with underlying papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) stage IV. He complained of recurrent epistaxis from a mass in his left nasal cavity for two weeks. The mass grew bigger, and spread to the oral cavity, causing dysphagia and upper airway obstruction. Trac
