Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents an ubiquitous soft tissue neoplasia, thought deriving from mesothelial cells. Most of cases are described in respiratory tract, even if many SFT have been reported in abdominal cavity, spermatic cord and some parenchymal organs, such as breast. Solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland (T-SFT) is rarely described, with only 26 cases being reported since 2014 in the international literature [1]. In this manuscript we report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland in a 67-years-old man occasionally detected on a thyroidectomy sample performed for other reasons.
