| dc.description.abstract | We present a case of a female patient with solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) originating in the parapharyngeal space which was successfully resected using an open transoral approach. The patient presented with a worsening airway obstruction, obstructive sleep apnoea, and dysphagia for three years. Rhinolaryngoscopy revealed a right nasopharynx and oropharynx lateral pharyngeal wall submucosal mass. Histopathological analysis was consistent with an SFT. This uncommon site of a rare tumour often presents diagnostic challenges or leads to overt misdiagnosis. We interrogated the literature in respect of the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this rare condition. | |
