Endoscopic resection of solitary fibrous tumor of the ethmoid: Case report review of the literature

INTRODUCTION: Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), as are benign neoplasms of fibroblastic cells. Nasosinusal localisation is exremely rare, difficult to diagnose and to manage. CASE REPORT: We report a rare case of Solitary fibrous tumour in the nasal cavity in a 47-year-old- woman, with complete surgical resection. DISCUSSION: SFTs are of mesenchymal origin, mainly from serous membranes. The head and neck region is affected with a percentage ranging from 5 to 27%. On the other hand, LTS unusually affects the nasal tract (NTS). Because of this rarity and its variable morphological appearance, it is difficult to distinguish TNS from other mesenchymal lesions. CONCLUSION: Although there are no standard clinical guidelines, the preferred treatment for FLS is radical surgical resection.
