Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is an uncommon spindle-cell neoplasm of mesenchymal origin occurring in the face.
We report a clinical case of SFT of the cheek. This entity is rarely observed on this site.
The clinical behaviour is widely different and the diagnosis depends on the immunohistochemical results. In our report, we clarify these features. The treatment consists of complete surgical removal, better performed when previously associated with embolisation.
