Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare soft‑tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin. Occasionally, these lesions have been indicated to associate with the salivary glands. Through the analysis of magnetic resonance imaging sequences, the present study reports a case of a solitary salivary gland lesion, demonstrating a well‑circumscribed, soft‑tissue tumor with marked signal changes and homogenous enhancement. SFT should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a solid mass exhibiting hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images has been detected in the salivary gland. Due to the potentially malignant nature of SFTs, it is necessary for radiologists to improve their understanding of such lesions.
