Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare tumors that are mostly found arising from the pleura. SFT of the parotid gland is a rare tumor; only a few cases have been described in the literature. SFTs are benign in most cases. Clinically, SFTs usually manifest as well circumscribed, slow-growing, smooth, and painlessmasses. CT-Scan andMRI are themost sensitive imaging procedures used. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision of the lesion. Since recurrence andmetastasis can take place after several years, a lifelong clinical and imaging regular follow-up is compulsory. In this paper, we describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of the up-to-nowbiggest parotid SFT.The clinical presentation, surgicalmanagement, and pathological and immunohistochemistry findings are described. 1
