Abstract: Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are uncommon spindle cell neoplasms that were first recognized as distinctive pleural lesions in 1931. SFTs were thought to originate exclusively in the pleura but later extra pleural lesions including those in the oral cavity were reported. The most common presentation of oral SFTs is in the form of an exophytic growth. Immunoreactivity of SFTs has been determined in the past using a panel of markers and one such marker expressed consistently by SFTs is CD 34 antigen.
