Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) arise in the pleura and less commonly in extrapleural sites. Head and neck regions have included the nose and paranasal sinuses, soft palate, epiglottis, thyroid, parotid and submandibular glands, as well as the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space. We report a case of SFT arising from the parotid gland and extending to the parapharyngeal space. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of SFT originating from the parotid gland and is the largest of its kind among the extrapleural lesions described. The characteristics revealed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are presented.
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome manifests as small, skin-colored, dome-shaped, or pedunculated cutaneous lesions. Three histopathologic patterns have been described: fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, and acrochordons. The patient described in this article also had small, elevated, intraoral papules involving the mucosal surfaces of the lips, buccal mucosa, and gingivae, which represents a finding that had not been described in the literature previously.
In infants and children, cervical masses originate from a variety of pathologic, congenital and developmental conditions, and it is important to distinguish benign from serious lesions. Fibromatosis colli is a rare cervical lesion that typically presents in the neonatal period. It is the most common cause of neonatal torticollis and should be recognized by physicians caring for neonates and infants.
