Abstract: Objective To explore the diagnostic methods and therapeutic principles of maxillofacial solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) through a retrospective analysis of clinical cases.Methods From 2009 to 2014,patients with maxillofacial SFT were counted in Shanghai No.9 Hospital oral-pathology database.The clinical data,imaging data and diagnostic methods were analyzed.Results 13 patients were selected in this study,whose post-operative pathology diagnoses were SFT with no typical clinical specificities,and their tumors were significantly enhancing masses according to the CT data.The immunohistochemistry of neoplasm cells were all positive for CD34 and Vim,and negative for Des.The wound healings were fine without any complications in 13 patients.During the post-operative follow-up period of 3 to 60 months,recurrences were found in 2 patients whose first pathological results were malignant SFT.After a reoperation,recurrences didn′t happen again in these 2 patients.Conclusions SFT was a rare disease in the maxillofacial region,and only the immunohistochemistry of the whole specimen would confirm the diagnosis.Complete radical resection was the first choice,long-term close follow-up was mandatory to control the recurrences,and the patient′s prognosis was usually satisfactory.
