Abstract

Extrapleural sites of solitary fibrous tumours have been identified. In a review of the literature 11 cases of solitary fibrous tumours of the upper respiratory tract have been reported. We report the second parapharyngeal solitary fibrous tumour which was discovered as an incidental finding emphasizing the importance of a full ear, nose and throat examination of all patients attending outpatient clinics
