Description
Summary:	Solitary fibrous tumor (STF) is a mesenchymal tumor that mainly appears in the pleura. Its presence in the oral cavity is very uncommon, being the buccal mucosa the most frequent location. Imaging cannot distinguish this entity between other types of tumors, being histological and immunohistochemical studies essential for its diagnosis. Immunohistochemical stains typically show positive results for CD34, Bcl2, and CD99. Surgical removal with wide margins is the gold standard treatment, requiring a close follow up due to recurrence risk. We present a case report of a solitary fibrous tumor located in the buccal cheek mucosa and the surgical approach. Solitary fibrous tumor, Buccal mucosa, Intraoral, Immunohistochemical markers.
