Their presence in the head and neck region is very rare; even more so in the post-cricoid region, with only one case described in the literature to date. The clinical behaviour of SFT may vary from benign to malignant, but only 10\u201315% of SFT demonstrate local recurrence or distant metastasis. The usual presenting symptoms of dysphagia and weight loss are very vague to give a definite diagnosis, and examination, even under general anaesthesia, combined with biopsies can sometimes be misleading, as in our case. Here, we describe a very challenging case of supraglottic SFT originating from the post-cricoid area. Our 73-year-old patient presented with dysphagia and upon examination a large supraglottic mass was revealed. Biopsies from the mass pointed to malignancy and the patient underwent total laryngectomy. The laryngeal specimen contradicted the biopsy and revealed a rare solitary fibrous tumour with benign features and thus adjuvant treatment was not necessary. Ever since the patient has been attending regular follow-up sessions and remains disease-free 18 months after surgery. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2021.0332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]],"date-time":"2022-04-21T15:22:42Z","timestamp":1650554562000},"page":"e219-e225","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Laryngeal solitary fibrous tumour: diagnostic challenge in a rare presentation"],"prefix":"10.1308","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Kiakou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Puvanendran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Philpott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Paulucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"171","reference":[{"key":"C1","first-page":"385","volume":"11","author":"Klemperer P","year":"1931","journal-title":"Arch Pathol"},{"key":"C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-198908000-00003"},{"key":"C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-008-0044-7"},{"key":"C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.2005.02290.x"},{"key":"C5","author":"Yang J","journal-title":"J Voice"},{"key":"C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0000000000000940"},{"key":"C7","first-page":"908327","volume":"2013","author":"Cervenka B","year":"2013","journal-title":"Case Rep Otolaryngol"},{"key":"C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-008-0044-7"},{"key":"C9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100158372"},{"key":"C10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2004.09.058"},{"key":"C11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3348\/kjr.2008.9.6.568"},{"key":"C12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199410000-00003"},{"key":"C13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-004-0805-1"},{"key":"C14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anl.2007.01.001"},{"key":"C15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/tgh.2018.11.02"},{"key":"C16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.2010.03707.x"},{"key":"C17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9896(199704)181:4<362::AID-PATH764>3.0.CO;2-Y"},{"key":"C18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.prp.2017.08.011"},{"key":"C19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anndiagpath.2018.01.004"},{"key":"C20","first-page":"86","volume-title":"Pathology and Genetics Oftumours of Soft Tissue and Bone, World Health Organization Classification of Tumours","author":"Guillou L","year":"2002"},{"key":"C21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.10328"},{"key":"C22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.2007.02794.x"},{"key":"C23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200202000-00002"},{"key":"C24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107327480601300403"}],"container-title":["The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/publishing.rcseng.ac.uk\/doi\/pdf\/10.1308\/rcsann.2021.0332","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T10:49:30Z","timestamp":1684147770000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/publishing.rcseng.ac.uk\/doi\/10.1308\/rcsann.2021.0332"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]},"references-count":24,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1308\/rcsann.2021.0332"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1308\/rcsann.2021.0332","relation":{},"ISSN":["0035-8843","1478-7083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0035-8843","type":"print"},{"value":"1478-7083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]}}}
